Staffordshire Wildlife Trust

We manage 26 nature reserves around the county totaling almost 3,500 acres. We carry out conservation projects to create and restore habitats for wildlife, to ensure that the county's wild creatures have secure places where they can feed, shelter and breed. 

We run events to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to discover, enjoy and care about the natural world. We work with families and schools to inspire a love and respect for nature and teach environmental education.

The Wolseley Centre

The Wolseley Centre is Staffordshire Wildlife Trust’s Visitor & Education Centre, set in 26 acres of landscaped gardens.

The grounds were once the ancestral home of the Wolseley family, now managed with wildlife in mind, yet still cater for people of all ages and mobility. Why not try a self-guided circular nature walk alongside the Stafford Brook and River Trent, explore our woodland and wetland habitats or spend a while relaxing in our wildlife and sensory gardens? Interactive visitor displays, gift shop and refreshments, there is everything for a great day out!

Parking to the centre and grounds are free, and an average visit can take between one and three hours.
