Wild About Our Reserves Appeal
Help us protect the wild spaces of Leicestershire and Rutland
Make your gift go twice as far
This year your support will have an extra impact with matched funding! Thanks to the generosity of one of our donors, all gifts to the Wild About Our Reserves Appeal will automatically be doubled until we reach our £100,000 target.
So for every £10 you give, £20 will go towards the future of the reserves throughout our two counties.
Our target is ambitious, but the outcomes will be amazing. With your help, we can continue to ensure that the wild spaces of Leicestershire and Rutland will be enjoyed by everyone for years to come.
Magical Places and Wild Spaces
Maybe you're drawn to the wetlands and ospreys of Rutland, the dramatic scenery of Charnwood Lodge, or the meadows out at Loughborough. And maybe you've already discovered the hidden gems of Bloody Oaks Quarry, Narborough Bog and Wymondham Rough.
Whether you like to escape for some relaxation, discover wildlife in magical places as a family or just take pride in the wild places of Leicestershire and Rutland, you can help to ensure the future of these amazing places by supporting the fantastic work that goes into making sure they are there for everyone to enjoy.
