Wilder Future Fund

Let’s step up for nature and live wilder together.
The Wilder Future Fund is an ambitious effort to raise £1.5 million over the next three years to help nature recover across our three counties. Focussing on three critical areas, the aim is to:
- Put nature into recovery
- Help communities take action for wildlife
- Work on nature-based solutions for a changing climate
You are already helping nature recover
Your support has already made a huge impact on helping nature recover our three counties. In the last two years you have:
-
purchased Strawberry Hill in Bedfordshire, an important rewilded site for nightingales, ensuring this precious place is saved for wildlife.
-
brought beavers back to Northamptonshire after a 400-year absence. These eco-engineers will eat their way through the willow, allowing the reedbed to expand for the benefit of wading birds.
-
filled in the final piece of the jigsaw at the Great Fen by buying Speechly’s Farm, linking the National Nature Reserves of Holme Fen and Woodwalton Fen. More than 2,000 hectares of land at the Great Fen is now under restoration, making the Fens wet again.
How your donation can help
Here is an idea of the impact your donations can have...

Donating £25 could help towards keeping the nature reserves you love in the best condition for wildlife.
Donating £50 could buy tools for a community volunteer work party.
Donating £100 could help train and support people to take action for wildlife on their own land, helping species spread beyond our nature reserves into the wider countryside.
You can be sure your money will go towards helping nature recover and achieve the vision of more nature everywhere.
Donations from the appeal will be classified as unrestricted and used by the Wildlife Trust BCN to achieve its charitable purposes, progressing work to restore wildlife, recover landscapes and engage communities.
