THE POWDERMILL TRUST was formed in 1980 by a group of naturalists to help conserve wildlife and safeguard natural landscapes.  Currently the Trust, based in East Sussex, has reserves in Rotherfield, Powdermill Wood and Crowhurst.  The Trust may, under certain circumstances, consider the acquistion of new reserves, especially in those areas where habitats or wildlife species may be threatened.

THEIR SURVIVAL DEPENDS BOTH ON US AND OUR CHILDREN.
