Nature Reserves
The trust cares for, or is associated with, 42 nature reserves (plus its headquarters in Shrewsbury - see next section) in the county:
| North Shropshire | Central Shropshire |
|
South Shropshire
|
Many of these sites are owned by the Trust - the most recent acquisition by the Trust is Catherton Common, in the Clee Hills, which at 527 acres is the largest Wildlife Trust nature reserve in the West Midlands region. The Trust is currently fund-raising to purchase the leasehold of Pontesford Hill - it already owns the freehold, along with neighbouring Earl's Hill. In 2012 the Trust is seeking to purchase the gardens of Charles Darwin's family home in Shrewsbury, so that they may be opened to the public.
