Aviva

WWT has teamed up with Aviva, the Insurance, Wealth and Retirement business, on a ground-breaking project to restore saltmarshes in the UK – unlocking the superpowers of wetlands.

Aviva has awarded WWT £21m, which will enable us to restore and manage coastal saltmarsh at a landscape-scale and fund research into measuring and maximising its benefits.

Drawing on our expertise in conservation and research, the funding will also enable us to develop ‘best practice guidelines and on the ground’ analysis to provide a catalyst for further investment in saltmarsh creation across the UK.

Aviva staff members also regularly spend time volunteering at our reserves around the UK, helping us to protect and restore wetland habitats.
