Water for Wildlife

Without water, wildlife and people cannot survive. But less than 15% of Dorset's rivers are in good condition, and 90% of the UK’s wetlands have disappeared in the last 100 years. We must act now to protect these powerful habitats.

Nature Reserves Fund

Your local nature reserves are a haven for wildlife. But costs are rising and these vital sanctuaries need to be enhanced and extended to ensure that wildlife can continue to thrive and spread across the landscape.

Woodland Recovery Appeal

Woodlands across Dorset are in need of your help. Ash dieback, fragmentation and climate change all threaten your local woodlands, but together, we can ensure a secure future for these amazing spaces and the wildlife that relies on them.
