Who we are
Vincent Wildlife Trust has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation for more than 45 years. Our work is focused on British and Irish mammals and is currently centred on the rarer bats and a small number of carnivores, notably members of the weasel family (the mustelids).
VWT was founded in 1975 by the late Hon Vincent Weir, a highly accomplished naturalist and a philanthropist.
