Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.
About us
We all have a place we love. A place that inspires us. A place with its own unique and particular atmosphere. We were created to help people make the most of these very special places - and the good things that come from them. We're independent of Government and receive no direct grant or subsidy for our core work. Instead, our future depends on the active support and generosity of 5.8 million members, 20 million visitors, 60,000 volunteers and over 11000 people who work with us (as well as thousands who help us seasonally), as well as benefactors, tenants and other partners. Today, we're Europe's largest conservation organisation, with huge - and incredibly varied - responsibilities. We protect and welcome everyone to explore and enjoy some 709 miles of coastline, 250,000 hectares of land of outstanding natural beauty, 104 nature reserves, 6 World Heritage Sites. We also look after spectacular houses and gardens and one of the world’s largest and most significant holdings of fine art and heritage objects. We want every one of our visitors to enjoy these amazing places and have an experience they'll never forget. We want them to try something they've never tried before, to gain a unique glimpse into the past and, ultimately, to love these special places as much as we do.

These are National Trust staff. Can you guess what their job is? ... They're not paddleboard instructors. Or the (amazing) social media team. Theyre... *drumroll* ARCHAEOLOGISTS. Wow. Did you guess right? These two archaeologists are carrying out vital monitoring conservation of the boat house at Dudmaston. This involves looking at things like vegetation and water erosion to establish the condition of the boat house and make decisions on a conservation plan. This specialism is called building archaeology. A huge thanks to our intrepid explorers.

🌳 A new mission to bring nature home We’re delighted to announce a new mission with The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Natural England to enable millions more people to enjoy nature and green spaces close to home. We've joined forces to help 100 towns and cities across the UK become greener, healthier, happier places for people to live, work and invest, by putting nature and green space at the heart of urban communities over the next decade. We want everybody to experience nature in their daily lives, particularly places and communities currently lacking access to quality green space. This means: • £1bn investment mobilised for nature in towns and cities by 2035 • At least five million more people will gain access to green space a short walk from home • One million children will have the opportunity to play outdoors in nature every day • Thousands of urban green spaces will be improved for communities and wildlife Find out more at https://lnkd.in/emtRJ3ev #NatureTownsAndCities

Sustainability now tastes even better in our cafés! We’re thrilled to announce that our cafés have been awarded three stars in The Sustainable Restaurant Association’s Food Made Good Standard — the highest possible rating in this leading sustainability certification for the hospitality industry. This independent assessment recognises our commitment to serving food that’s good for both people and the planet. From cutting carbon in our supply chain to recycling coffee grounds and reducing single-use plastics, our teams are working hard to make every bite and sip more sustainable. But we’re not stopping here. There’s always more we can do — and you can help. Next time you visit one of our cafés, bring your reusable cup for takeaway drinks. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in helping us phase out single-use cups. Together, we’re looking after nature, beauty and history. The Sustainable Restaurant Association
