The Great Nature Appeal
Help Essex Wildlife Trust raise £1 million by 2030 to restore habitats, protect wildlife and create a thriving future for nature across our county.
From ancient woodlands and flower-rich grasslands to wetlands and wild coastline, Essex is home to extraordinary wildlife. But nature is under pressure, and it needs our help.
Together, we can protect the places we love, restore precious habitats and give wildlife the space it needs to recover.
Will you help us raise £1 million for nature?

Nature needs our help
Across the UK, 1 in 6 species is at risk of extinction. Here in Essex, wildlife faces growing pressures from climate change, development, habitat loss and fragmentation, and other threats. But this doesn’t have to be nature’s future. We know that when we give nature the right space and conditions, it can recover.
Together, we can turn the tide
Across our nature reserves and far beyond them, we're working to protect what remains, restore what has been lost and reconnect habitats for wildlife's recovery. But the scale of the challenge means we need to do more.
That’s why we're asking people across Essex to come together and help us raise £1 million by 2030 through The Great Nature Appeal.
It’s an ambitious target. But together, we can make a lasting difference for wildlife and wild places across Essex.
