Right-wing group target National Trust council over rewilding and LGBT+ stance

‘Anti-woke insurgents’ Restore Trust promoting candidates for governing body in bid to influence charity’s policies

Restore Trust, the self-styled “anti-woke” insurgents who want to reverse policies such as rewilding and LGBT+ friendly practices, had limited success at last year’s National Trust AGM, when a number of resolutions it supported were defeated.
