What is Wild Brownsea?

Wild Brownsea is an ambitious conservation project designed to bring people closer to nature. By improving the facilities at our nature reserve on Brownsea Island, we aim to  inspire people to take action to protect and respect Dorset's wildlife and wild places now, and into the future. You can find out more about this exciting project and how you can join in here.

What we need to secure Brownsea's future

The Wild Brownsea project is well underway, but we still need to raise vital funds to support the future of this unique haven for wildlife.

  • £25 will buy a 20kg bag of peanuts - ensuring our red squirrels and birds survive the winter. 
  • £50 will buy timber to create eight new tern chick shelters.
  • £100 will fund a working party to tackle invasive species.
  • £250 will buy four new pairs of chest waders - helping volunteers repair breeding bird islands.
  • £500 will buy a moth trap  - helping to teach children about these amazing and vital pollinators. 

A donation receipt will be emailed to you when we have processed your donation.

Thank you for supporting this once-in-a-generation project.

The Big Give for Wild Brownsea

We have just one week to raise £20,000, to be doubled by the Big Give's match funders. Your donation between 18-25 April will ensure people from all backgrounds can access Brownsea through our outreach and engagement work. We must improve access to nature, and inspire more people to stand with us and stand up for wildlife. You have the power to make it happen!
