Set in the beautiful English countryside of meadows and woodland, the UKWCT centre with its observation and education centre, attracts visitors from all over the world.

The Trust was established in 1995 to help wolves in the wild throughout the world, and especially Europe. The UK sadly lost its wild wolves a few centuries ago, but the British people still care passionately about wildlife and our lost indigenous species. Many are keen to support wolves in other countries.

The foundation of all work is based on education and raising awareness about wolves and their conservation. This underpins everything we do from organising world class seminars twice a year to publishing and distributing Europe’s leading wolf conservation magazine, Wolf Print.

The Trust has strong links and partnerships throughout the world with many different organisations and groups, and works to help communities and wildlife to live alongside each other. This is especially important for wolves as they are creatures that have been reviled in many countries and are still persecuted to this day. Fostering co-existence between wolves and humans is increasingly important for their future survival.

The Trust helps to support NGOs through financial donations particularly in European countries, and in order for us to raise these funds we have a variety of activities.

Education
School visits are an important part of our calendar. Wherever possible (distance allowing) one or two of our ambassadorial wolves visit schools. This is an effective way of dispelling the prevailing perceptions and attitudes fuelled by centuries of myths, legends and fairy stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. The children are always fascinated by seeing the wolves first hand, and it is hoped that this will help promote a long term interest in nature and wildlife conservation.

Walk with the Wolves
Members of the Trust have the opportunity to walk with wolves in a beautiful, ancient woodland setting. The wolves enjoy this as much as the visitors as they explore the sights and sounds of the forest and whatever the weather enjoy a dip in the lake.

Wolf Print
Wolf Print is supported by the world’s leading wolf biologists and researchers, NGOs, academic institutions and various government departments. Focusing on issues of wolves and their conservation, particularly in Europe, Wolf Print keeps readers up to date on current events.

Seminars
Each year the Trust holds two seminars and invites speakers from different countries. In the past delegates have listened to some of the world’s foremost experts on wolves and their conservation. Following the talks, delegates are treated to a walk with the wolves, and the chance to catch up with likeminded people.

Merchandise
The sale of merchandise helps to fund our many activities, and helps to support our partners and wild wolf projects. Our catalogue and online shop serve as an international shopping place for wolf lovers everywhere.

Adoption
The Trust has seven ambassadorial wolves, all of whom are very photogenic. People who ‘adopt’ our wolves are sent a beautiful pack complete with biographies and a photograph of their adopted wolf. The proceeds from adoptions go towards the upkeep for our own wolves as well as donations to wolf conservation projects.

Shows
The Trust has a mobile enclosure which we use to take two or three of our wolves to country shows and fairs. They are often the main attraction and people attend the shows just to see the wolves. This gives us the opportunity to talk about wolves throughout the world and conservation issues.

You can support the Trust by becoming a member, buying merchandise, subscribing to Wolf Print and get involved in our activities as a volunteer.
