Wildlife Guardians
Join a passionate community protecting Essex’s wildlife for generations to come
Essex Wildlife Trust is proud to launch Wildlife Guardians – our new patron programme for supporters who want to make an exceptional impact on nature. By joining, you’ll play a vital role in restoring habitats, protecting endangered species, and inspiring people across Essex to care for wildlife.
Your generosity will help us deliver our ambitious conservation strategy, tackling the challenges wildlife faces today – from climate change and habitat destruction to species loss.
Ways to Support
We offer five annual giving levels over a suggested three-year commitment. All levels offer tailored experiences and regular updates, with enhanced opportunities for our major supporters.
Your gift could fund education days, restore habitats, or help create wildlife corridors across Essex. Gift Aid and tax relief can help make your support go even further.
Wildlife Experiences
A range of activities are available throughout the year for our supporters, offering you ways to see the impact of your support and wildlife up close.
Examples include:
- Joining our teams to go behind the scenes at a beaver rewilding project
- Attend a forest school session with your family
- Explore nature on a guided walk or contribute to a butterfly survey
Share your interests and we’ll do our best to match you with an experience that brings our work to life.
