Leave a gift in your Will

Leaving a gift for nature

Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most meaningful ways you can help local wildlife.

Over the last 60 years, we have been working tirelessly towards our vision of a county with more wildlife, more wild spaces and more people coming into contact with nature. But we can only make that happen with the help of people like you.

A gift in your will is a simple yet powerful way to keep your wishes alive. After you’ve remembered your friends and family, you can help to fund work that will restore habitat and breeding sites for many endangered species including red squirrels, water voles and willow tits.

Your gift will also give future generations the same opportunities you had to be inspired and to make their own journey of discovery into the natural world. Any amount you choose to leave as a gift in your will, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference to the wildlife that holds a special place in your memories and will ensure your love of nature lives on. 

It is important to me that future generations will be able to enjoy wildlife as much as I have. I feel it's up to us to leave that legacy.
