Naturetrek offer through their website and brochure Britain's
largest selection of professionally organised natural history
holidays. All are expertly guided by a leading Ornithologist or
Botanist (and often both), generally with a good knowledge of the
area to be visited. Inevitably, birds, plants and mammals are the
main focus of attention on many of the trips; however, they do aim
to incorporate all other aspects of the natural world in an
attempt to be as broad-minded as possible. Naturetrek also
operates a wide range of tours on behalf of conservation
organisations, donating 10% of the income from these to
conservation causes promoted by the organisation.
