Protecting our Island for all to discover and enjoy

The National Trust for Jersey is proud to be the custodian of a number of natural sites across Jersey.

180 natural environment sites, covering 1500 vergées of land
19km of public footpath
30 historic buildings
100 vergées of land are protected by Restrictive Covenants.

In fact, an area of beautiful woodland threatened with building development lay at the very heart of the decision to establish The National Trust for Jersey in 1936, and the protection of landscape has remained at the core of our work ever since.

A skilled management team

We have an experienced Lands Team comprising a Lands Manager, Conservation Officer and three Rangers, along with an ever increasing team of volunteers, who look after and skilfully manage our land.

Our objectives are:

Promoting Conservation
Enhancing bio-diversity
Enabling public access and interpretation
Supporting sustainable agricultural practices; and
Safeguarding landscape character

With limited financial resources we are reliant upon a number of partnerships, including a conservation grazing scheme using primitive Manx Loaghtan sheep.

Where will your next adventure take you?

We encourage you to visit and enjoy our natural sites, and ask that you leave them litter free and unspoilt for others to discover. Where will you go next?
