Campaign for a wilder future
The world is in a critical state. Urgent action is needed.
We campaign in our three counties and beyond, from ensuring wildlife is at the heart of government policy to empowering you to protect wildlife at home.

Broken Promises
Changes to planning rules could disconnect people from the natural world. A move which breaks several different promises Government Ministers have made to bring nature back to everyone.
In 2023, Rachel Reeves said she wanted to be 'Britain's first green Chancellor'. But now she has the role, she is threatening to ‘rip out’ environmental protections.
Please ask your MP to intervene

Our woodlands need you
Woodlands are one of our most evocative habitats. The light, sounds, smells, temperature – everything changes when you walk amongst the trees. They convey a sense of peace and that feeling can have a profound impact on our wellbeing. But we could be in danger of taking their long, rich history for granted; the threats they face today are as great as they have ever been.
Our Wilder Future Fund is an ambitious effort to raise £500,000 a year over the next three years - £1.5 million to help nature recover across our three counties.
With your support, we're already doing so much, but our woodlands are in vital need of more help.
