We are the county’s leading conservation charity, committed to protecting wildlife and inspiring a lifelong love of nature.
Improved accessibility at Hanningfield Reservoir Nature Discovery Park
New accessible facilities will help more people experience the benefits of nature at one of Essex’s most loved nature reserves.
Species of the month: ringed plover
Discover July's species of the month and find out how you can support conservation in Essex by recording your sightings.
Abandoned nests, burnt hides and broken gates
Vandalism, fly-tipping and illegal activity causes destruction to Essex nature reserves.
The reserves you love don’t look after themselves.
Every donation supports grazing animals that nurture the wildlife and wild spaces you love. Help us raise £125,000 and make a lasting difference.
