  Volunteers - Rob Cousins

The best way you can give your support and help local wildlife is by becoming a member of Avon Wildlife Trust.

As part of the national partnership of 47 county Wildlife Trusts we work to protect local wildlife for future generations to enjoy. Join us and add your voice to our growing membership - and discover your own connection to the natural world on your doorstep.

Appeals

The Trust is entirely reliant on the generosity of its members, supporters and funders to carry out its work for wildlife. Through our fundraising appeals in the past we have secured matched funding to buy nature reserves such as Prior's Wood and to restore Folly Farm. We're now aiming to build up a fund to deliver this vital support - see how you can help by turning your donation of £1 into £10 through the Seed Appeal

A gift in will

We believe that it is important to leave a thriving natural world for future generations to enjoy.

Leaving a legacy to Avon Wildlife Trust, no matter how big or small, will help ensure that our children and grandchildren can experience the wonders of nature - and create their own, special memories of the natural world.

 

Action Days for local companies

We're reviewing the packages we offer to local businesses and organisations to provide opportunities for getting involved with Avon Wildlife Trust and will shortly be developing a portfolio of options - from heritage skills samplers to nature trail immersion, from volunteer challenge events to community partner days. Each experience will be designed to offer employees the chance to contribute their time to conservation and the local community, learn new skills, and change their way of looking at the natural world.

For further information contact Pat Ellingham, Director of Communications and Development by email, patellingham@avonwildlifetrust.org.uk to receive updates.
