Help create a wilder future for our woodlands

Your support has already made a huge impact on helping nature recover in our three counties, and especially for woodlands.

Woodlands are among our most enchanting habitats, rich in sights, sounds, and scents that stir the soul. Ancient Woodlands (over 400 years old) are particularly precious, supporting carpets of wildflowers, rare butterflies, and elusive mammals like the hazel dormouse. Many have existed since medieval times and host a complex web of plants, fungi, and animals. 

But these ecosystems face mounting threats: ash dieback, elm disease, and climate change are weakening trees and reducing resilience. Warmer winters and heavy footfall damage paths and wildflowers, making management harder. 

In Cambridgeshire, one of the UK’s least wooded counties, these fragments are vital. With your support, we can protect them. A donation to the Wilder Future Fund helps fund the staff, tools, and care needed to ensure these ancient woods - and the thousands of species they shelter - continue to thrive for generations to come.
