Kubota announced that it is continuing its partnership with the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), 12-months on since the company became corporate patrons of the wetland conservation organisation.

The link between manufacturing excellence and a commitment to improving the environment is something Kubota is extremely proud of, highlighted by its global ‘For Earth, For Life’ mantra, and it sees its work with the WWT as an excellent brand partnership to help develop and strengthen this link and to help aid the excellent work of WWT.

The national partnership with the WWT has also resulted in many of the nine wetland centres nationwide making the switch to Kubota machinery to assist with the day-to-day duties required to ensure that its sites balance the duel requirements of conservation and habitat management.

The latest centre to benefit from Kubota kit is WWT Slimbridge, the official Head Quarters of trust.

Located halfway between Bristol and Gloucester on the estuary of the River Severn, the 1000-acre site is home to much of WWT’s pioneering work for rare and endangered species, such as its programme to re-establish a sustainable population of the iconic Eurasian Crane to the Somerset Levels and Moors.

Slimbridge now benefits from a Kubota G26-II high dump mower, purchased recently through Slimbridge’s longstanding machinery dealer, Lister Wilder.

This will be followed hot on the heels by a second deal agreed between Lister Wilder and Trust, this time to supply the WWT London Wetland Centre in Barnes; joining the likes of Martin Mere Wetland Centre (Lancashire) and Arundel Wetland Centre (West Sussex), which already boast fleets of Kubota machines.
