- Advising and helping others to look after their land for wildlife
- Championing nature with local decision-makers
Protect special wild places near you
We have some of the world’s rarest rivers – chalk streams like the Mimram, Ash and Rib – which number just 260 in the entire world and provide homes for iconic British wildlife such as the endangered Water Vole and striking Kingfisher.
We also have some of the best examples of ancient, and Oak-Hornbeam woodlands in the South East of England – including our new nature reserve Astonbury Wood. Ancient woodlands are a particularly special type of woodland that have developed, undisturbed for centuries – they support an array of wildlife, including many rare and protected species, play a vital role in the fight against climate change, and are unquestionably one of our most important habitats. We can only continue our vital conservation work protecting local wildlife and wild places like these with the help of our members – people like you.
