Wildlife in Need

Please support our 50th Anniversary Appeal
 

Essex Wildlife Trust relies on financial support from members, both individual and corporates, partners and grant giving bodies.  This financial support is fundamental to our work.  Over the last 50 years Essex Wildlife Trust has launched many appeals that have allowed them to do their important conservation work across the county of Essex.

As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary we still have so much work to do and are launching an appeal to support our 50th year.  With your help we hope to increase the resources that we can put into our nature reserves - to improve them further for wildlife.  We have talented and dedicated staff and volunteers who have,  over the years, done a brilliant job but there is always m more to do and never enough money.

Our volunteers are the lifeblood of the Trust and we need specialised equipment to do the work they do, although we buy what we can, with your help we could kit out many more volunteers and so increase the valuable work they do.

When the Trust was founded 50 years ago, most kids and their parents knew a bit about the countryside.  Now many of us live in towns and generations are growing up who never experienced the joy of finding a Woodlouse under a log of hearing a Skylark.  By send our staff into schools or getting adults adn children out on our nature reserves, we can show them what they are missing and encourage them to protect their wildlife for the future.

We also need to look out from our reserves to the wider county to encourage our neighbours to extend the conservation work onto their land.

Your wildlife needs you!  Please give generously.
