Staff at Vincent Wildlife Trust have produced a range of free, downloadable resources on the work to conserve threatened mammals in Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe. Some have written books that can be bought online through NHBS.
VWT established a permanent presence in Ireland in 1995 and the majority of our work has been centered on the bat species, and in particular the lesser horseshoe bat. Today, our work in Ireland has a broader remit and focuses not only on the bat species but also on other mammals in need; in particular members of the Mustelid family, which includes the pine marten and the stoat.
This project set out to build new and permanent structures in County Limerick in the vicinity of the Mulkear River to function as suitable roosting sites for the lesser horseshoe bat. This is the first time that funding under an agri-environment scheme was solely targeted to benefit this bat species.
This leaflet, produced as part of the Lesser Horseshoe Bat Conservation Project, was produced to describe the actions of the project but also to list other actions that farmers can take to promote the conservation of the lesser horseshoe bat.
A guide to the native and non-native small mustelids of Ireland – the pine marten, Irish stoat, otter, American mink and ferret.
Our 2020-2030 strategy sets out the next ten years of conserving threatened mammals using scientifically sound research. We continue to be a catalyst for innovative conservation as we work with new species, new partnerships and new areas.
Vincent Wildlife Trust has just published its Annual Report for 2023. This report gives an overview of the past year’s highlights, its projects, its partners and its audited financial statements.
