BBOWT is the only voluntary organisation in the region concerned with all aspects of nature conservation. Our vision is to create a region rich in wildlife and appreciated by all.

• Inspire, encourage and support people to take action for wildlife.
• Buy, create and manage nature reserves to safeguard species and habitats.

• Work in partnership to conserve and enhance wildlife in the wider countryside and urban areas.

• Eighty nature reserves are managed in the three counties. These act like 'reservoirs' from which wildlife can spread back into the wider countryside.
• Landowners, including farmers, local authorities and industry are encouraged to manage their land in a wildlife-friendly way.
• Decision makers are lobbied to influence local and regional plans and policies.
• A programme of wildlife walks, illustrated talks, reserve work parties and events help people to find out about nature conservation.
• Two environmental education centres are run in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, visited by more than 8,000 primary school children each year. In 2012, a third centre will open in Berkshire.

• Wildlife News. Published three times a year, this high quality magazine is packed with features, practical advice and how you can help protect local wildlife.
• What's On diary. Make a date with your local wildlife. The diary lists guided walks, illustrated talks, practical workshops and great days out for all the family.
• Where to go for Wildlife. The BBOWT handbook gives a fully illustrated guide to our 80 nature reserves in Berks, Bucks and Oxon, complete with maps and notes about the wildlife you will see.
