"Caring for wildlife both sides of the border"
The historic
Borders town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is home to Britain's second largest mute swan
moulting colony.
The Berwick Swan and Wildlife Trust was formed in 1992, following a major pollution incident in the River Tweed estuary, to provide support for the local swan herd as well as other wildlife in the area.
In this website you can get the latest news about our activities, find information about the famous Berwick swans, the mute swan species in general, the history of the Trust's formation and how you can help by becoming a member.
We hope it will encourage others to join us in continuing to help these magnificent birds and many other sick and injured animals.
