BVCT is the sole charitable organisation focused on the protection, enhancement and human enjoyment of the natural environment of the whole Blackwater Valley.

Our Mission is to use our skills and resources to make the Blackwater Valley a special place, full of life, where the countryside is valued and the people and wildlife thrive together. We do this by engaging local people and businesses in nature and conservation activities and show them the purpose and benefits of our work. Learn more about us >
