We help local wildlife in so many ways, and your support is crucial. Your money will be used specifically in this region, so you and your loved ones can watch your contributions develop our wild places for many years to come.
Membership costs from as little as £3 per month – this small sum of money helps us protect the wildlife that lives in your area, whether it is flying over your garden wall, growing in a local woodland or running through a wild meadow. Without members and donors like you, we could not continue this vital work.
Which type of membership suits me?
We know people have different lifestyles, and our memberships reflect that. Whether you want to purchase an individual membership, join with a partner, friend or even get the whole family involved, we have a subscription to suit you. For children, there is even the fantastic Wildlife Watch programme to get involved in. Why not also consider our Gift Membership, which makes a thoughtful and original present, and can be personalised with your own message. We also offer a Schools Wildlife Watch Membership programme, which includes extra benefits for staff and pupils.
Membership benefits
Our members provide a strong voice to campaign for wildlife, and your donations enable our conservation and education work to continue. New members receive a membership pack and are updated with regular mailings throughout the year. To unlock the wild beauty of our reserves, members also have the opportunity to purchase a hide key for Big Waters and Holywell Pond. Keys cost £10 and can be purchased by contacting Laura Lowther at the Trust.
Making a donation
We appreciate donations in any form, however large or small, and every single penny furthers our work in this region. Why not read more about how your donation makes a difference to get an idea of where your money will be used.
Whether you want to donate to a specific appeal, or simply contribute to our general conservation work, we will gratefully receive whatever you are able to give. Donating is easy online, but if you prefer, you can send a cheque or contact us to donate over the telephone or visit our offices.
