Wildlife Trusts - A Good Thing?

Blacka Blogger thinks it's quite likely that most wildlife trusts do a splendid job. Probably many of them are run by staff who speak the truth.

It may be that the wildlife trusts some time ago were not quite what they are today. There's an impression that they were smaller and less highly structured. Now there's something managerial and industrial about them. Perhaps this is thought to be 'modernising'. If it means that it mirrors national conservation organisations like Natural England with a centralised approach and regional offices then one can see what they are up to. The other area of reservation is the reliance on national grant funding which relegates close local accountability to a secondary need.
