In 2012 the Trust was seeking to purchase the gardens of Charles Darwin's family home at The Mount in Shrewsbury, so that they may be opened to the public.

The centre and its gardens is open to the public (usually Monday – Saturday) and has a shop as well as conference rooms available for hire.

The Trust currently has 10 local branches active in the county: Additionally, in the Telford area the Trust has helped establish the "Telford and Wrekin Forest" initiative, and has "Wrekin Forest Volunteers".

The county has a wide range of specialist groups, which are associated with the Shropshire Wildlife Trust, including: As of 2011 the Shropshire Wildlife Trust's membership is around 11,000 individuals[1] – the figure was just under 6,000 in the year 2000.
