You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Derbyshire Wildlife Trust''' is one of 46 local [[The Wildlife Trusts|Wildlife Trusts]] around the UK working to promote and protect local wildlife. It covers the whole of [[Derbyshire]] and was founded in 1962 in response to environmental threats to the local countryside, since when it has continued to grow. The trust is now based at East Mill on the [[River Derwent, Derbyshire|River Derwent]] in the town of [[Belper]], Derbyshire. It is a registered charity (number 222212), supported by more than 14,000 members and over 500 volunteers.<ref name="annualreport2012">((cite web|url=http://www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/sites/default/files/DWT1354_AnnualReport_2011-12.pdf|title=Annual Review 2011–12|publisher=Derbyshire Wildlife Trust|accessdate=25 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130624230827/http://www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/sites/default/files/DWT1354_AnnualReport_2011-12.pdf|archive-date=24 June 2013|url-status=dead))</ref>

The trust manages 43 nature reserves<ref name="reserves">((cite web |url=http://www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/nature-reserves/nature-reserves-list |title=Nature Reserves list| publisher=Derbyshire Wildlife Trust |accessdate=25 March 2013))</ref> covering ((convert|630|ha|acres)) throughout the county, from flooded gravel pits in the south to moorland and upland woodland in the north. Fourteen of these are [[Sites of Special Scientific Interest]] (SSSIs). The trust also works with schools, local communities, local authorities, landowners and others to promote and protect the natural environment. Environmental education and workshops are provided at the Avenue Washlands Visitor Centre, the Whistlestop Centre, and the Wildlife Discovery Room at [[Carsington Water]].

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has a 'Living Landscape' approach to nature conservation. By working with local businesses, landowners, communities and individuals on habitat restoration and enhancement projects throughout the county, it is hoped landscape scale conservation will create a healthier environment for wildlife, the local economy and people.

== History ==
The trust originated in 1962 as Derbyshire Naturalists' Trust.

In the early 1960s a group of concerned people gathered together to oppose plans to tip [[fly ash]] at Ticknall Limeyards in South Derbyshire. Backed by national pressure, they were successful and decided to form a local charitable organisation to handle such issues. Derbyshire Naturalists' Trust was officially launched.<ref name="history">((cite web|url=http://www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/who-we-are/history|title=History|publisher=Derbyshire Wildlife Trust|accessdate=25 March 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130408024646/http://www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/who-we-are/history|archive-date=8 April 2013|url-status=dead))</ref>

By 1967, the trust had established two nature reserves, one of them at Ticknall Limeyards itself. The other, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Morley Brickyards, was leased to the Trust by its owner and is still being managed as a nature reserve. The Trust also acquired Overdale, the first nature reserve that it owned outright. The ((convert|15|ha|acre|abbr=off)) of upland pasture were donated by Portland Cement to mark European Conservation Year. A bequest allowed the Trust to appoint its first member of staff in 1973.

As the trust grew it was able to campaign more effectively and in 1984 hit the national headlines when it won a private prosecution against five men caught [[badger baiting|badger digging]].

After rebranding to become Derbyshire Wildlife Trust in 1986, the organisation became the focus of attention again the following year when it launched an appeal to raise £200,000 to renovate the old railway station buildings at Matlock Bath and create the Whistlestop Countryside Centre, an education facility in the old railway station buildings at Matlock Bath. Later in the decade a major Heritage Lottery Fund award enabled the Trust to develop more nature reserves work and set up a Midweek Volunteer Team.

In 2007 the Avenue Washlands Nature Reserve near Chesterfield was opened and won first place in the Conservation category for Restoration Sites in the British Trust for Ornithology's Business Bird Challenge. In the same year, a lottery grant allowed the trust to extend its educational programme with Grounds for a Change, transforming Derbyshire school grounds into wildlife havens and outdoor learning spaces. It also took over management of Drakelow Nature Reserve in the south of the county, an important wetland site playing host to over 200 species of birds. 

In recent years the trust has launched and developed a variety of projects aimed at protecting and raising awareness of vulnerable species and habitats. More recent projects have included Derby Cathedral's Peregrines Project, Great Trees of Derbyshire and Saving the Great Trees of Derbyshire, projects which have raised awareness of the importance of ancient trees, and Water for Wildlife which has helped to restore wetland habitats.

== Organisation ==
Derbyshire Wildlife Trust is governed by a board of trustees, elected from and by the 14,000+ members. The trust employs around 26 members of experienced staff to run the trust and carry out conservation and education projects. Volunteers are essential to the work of the trust. They help with many aspects including nature reserves, administration and education work. The Trust currently has around 500 volunteers.<ref name="annualreport2012" />
