Earth Trust
The Earth Trust, originally known as the Northmoor Trust[1], was set up in 1969 by the British engineer Sir Martin Wood to promote environmental conservation through land management, education and land science. It is a registered charity under English law.[2]
Based at Little Wittenham, the Trust currently manages a 300-hectare (750 acre) estate, which includes the Wittenham Clumps, Little Wittenham Nature Reserve, a conservation farm and an area of woodland dedicated to forestry research.
In 2006 the Trust completed a move to new environmentally friendly offices at Hill Farm and opened their new landscape evolution centre, Project Timescape.
The Trust runs an events programme which aims to bring people closer to their landscape and therefore want to protect it. The Trust organises Oxfordshire's Children's Food Festival.
