Give a gift to wildlife this winter

As the weather turns colder and the nights draw in, our local wildlife needs your support more than ever.

This winter we’ll be working hard to protect wildlife and help it survive through these bleak conditions. By being a part of nature’s recovery, you can spread festive cheer to the natural world which brings us so much joy.

Together, we can halt the rate at which our wildlife is disappearing. With The Wildlife Trusts across the UK, we’re part of a movement to ensure that at least 30% of our land and sea is connected and protected for the benefit of nature by 2030.

Your generosity this winter will give wildlife a chance. Please play a part in connecting and restoring our beautiful, wild spaces.

I want a future where wildlife can flourish

While our resident dormice and hedgehogs are snoozing, our busy volunteers are out in the elements improving vital local habitats. A winter gift of £30 can provide the tools to create welcome shelter for the abundance of wildlife that call our hedgerows home.

We want to make more space for nature to return in abundance - not just during Advent but every day.

We can achieve this by connecting and restoring beautiful wild places – places that also store carbon and help tackle the climate crisis too.

30% is the bare minimum that nature needs to start recovering but we are far short of this and need your help to turn things around.

We can turn the tide against the ecological and climate emergencies we face, but we must act now. Time is running out. Together with The Wildlife Trusts across the UK we are trying to raise £30 million to help at least 30% of our land and sea be connected and protected for nature’s recovery by 2030.

We have a solution

The aim for our strategy is to protect 30% of land and sea in Avon for the benefit of wildlife by 2030. This means securing new land to protect wildlife through purchase, gifts and working in partnership. This new land will help to deliver nature’s recovery by creating bigger, better, more joined-up habitats.

Our dedicated nature reserves are unique and special habitats. We want these habitats and their wildlife to flow into surrounding land, allowing nature in Avon to recover on a landscape scale. To help make this happen we will work with other landowners across the region, as well as on our own newly acquired land, in managing sites for wildlife.

Can you help put nature into recovery this December? Together, we can protect our wonderful wildlife and wild spaces for generations to come.
