How do I explain to people what Surrey Wildlife Trust does?
Surrey Wildlife Trust works to give wildlife a helping hand across the county. This includes monitoring species and running projects to support declining species such as the Heath Tiger Beetle, and threatened habitats such as chalk grassland and heathland.
We look after more than 60 nature reserves spanning more than 5,000 hectares. We also work with other organisations and landowners to extend, protect and connect habitats for wildlife across the county and to inspire local communities and young people to care for nature where they live.
To find out more, take a look at our About page.
How will the money I raise be used?
You will be supporting critical initiatives aimed at restoring and safeguarding Surrey’s natural habitats and wildlife. Every pound donated will contribute directly to our critical mission of preserving Surrey’s nature for future generations.
