Founded in 1977, PTES works on the frontlines of conservation by supporting vital projects that address the threats faced by species at risk of extinction globally.

Through a combination of scientific research, monitoring, education, habitat restoration and public engagement, the organisation seeks to ensure that endangered species not only survive but thrive.

PTES collaborates with local communities, governments, and conservation organisations worldwide to create lasting solutions for the preservation of biodiversity.

PTES exists to support and restore natural heritage – the diverse assemblages of species and their habitats – through practical conservation and by educating and informing people about its importance.

Rough Hill is a traditionally managed orchard of ~4 hectares, located on a bank of the river Avon on the outskirts of Pershore, Worcestershire.
