Roll of Honour
These people are being honoured for the years of dedication which they have given to the Trust: they have provided unstinted volunteering and expert advice in many fields, especially ecology. Each person is presented with a Gwent Trust RoH badge; it was specially designed by Lowri Watkins and shows a water vole. Recipients are also presented with a Roll of Honour Certificate at the AGM, signed by the Chair of the Trust.

Local Groups
Gwent Wildlife Trust is currently supported by two Local Groups of volunteers. Each group is run independently and most of them host a series of walks, talks or work tasks at different times throughout the year.
Our networks of people are the foundation of our ability to protect, enhance and restore vital habitats and ecosystems for wildlife in Gwent.
