Administrative History:
The Trust began life as the Pembrokeshire Bird Protection Society in 1938; in 1945 it extended its coverage to include Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire and Merioneth, and changed its name to the West Wales Field Society. In 1961 it was resolved to dissolve the Field Society and reform as the West Wales Naturalists’ Trust.
The West Wales Naturalists' Trust (1962-1984), subsequently became the West Wales Trust for Nature Conservation (from 1984), by 1989 it had become the Dyfed Wildlife Trust, then later the West Wales Wildlife Trust, and through a merger with the Glamorgan Wildlife Trust in 2002 now exists in its present form as the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales
