    We've been acting as a voice for wildlife in the region for more than 50 years. Working across Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, Stockport, Warrington, Tameside, Trafford and Wirral. We manage around 40 nature reserves with habitats ranging from grasslands and wet meadows to reedbeds, coastal dunes and woodland.
