The Wildlife Conservation Research Unit

Established in 1986, the University of Oxford's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) seeks to achieve practical solutions to conservation problems. We do this through original scientific research of the highest calibre. Vitally, we also train committed conservation scientists to conduct research, and to put scientific knowledge into practice. We participate in the implementation of many conservation projects and embrace the need to educate and involve a wider public to achieve lasting solutions.

Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group

The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) is the UK's only independent and dedicated provider of environmental and conservation advice and consultancy to farmers and crofters. Formed in 1969, FWAG has grown into a network of 120 highly skilled Farm Conservation Advisers located within 55 regional and county groups across the UK. A voluntary committee of local farmers supports each group together with representatives from the agriculture industry and environmental organisations to ensure we have a farmer led organisation. FWAG is a Charitable Organisation seeking to support and enthuse farmers to secure environmental benefits on their land.

Wildlife Trust Berkshire Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust
The Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust was established in 1959 by local ecologists who could see the extent of harm being done to the wonderfully rich natural environment of the three counties.

We are one of 47 Wildlife Trusts working across the UK. We are all independent county-based charities, but come together under the umbrella of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts giving strength to our work at a regional and national level.
