Welshpool Shop and Office
The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust office is located on the High Street in Welshpool and provides a base for the Trust’s operations as well as an advice hub where visitors can learn more about their local wildlife.
On the ground floor the Trust operates a shop, filled with everything you need to support and encourage the wildlife in your garden including bird and bat boxes, feeders, seed and insect homes. A range of books and ID guides, meanwhile, are available to help with your nature spotting!
The shop's a great place to find unique, wildlife-inspired gifts, beautiful cards, cuddly toys and presents for the little ones. There's also a lovely selection of handmade wooden items created by our Wild Skills, Wild Spaces project social enterprise groups.
All profits made by the shop go to support our vital conservation and outreach work around the county.
Our Nature Table has a fascinating seasonal display of items found by the staff team. Highlights include fungi, abandoned bird nests, skulls, wasp nests and snake-skins.
The shop area also has displays and information about the Trust’s work and how to get involved. Our wonderful volunteers and staff are on hand to provide advice and species identifications and to inspire our visitors to engage with the amazing wildlife Montgomeryshire has to offer!
