Dappled woodlands of native trees. Healthy undergrowth, perfect for dormice to explore. Towns and cities with flourishing, connected gardens and green spaces. These are just three of the things we’d like to see across Britain – but we can’t make it happen without you.

Wildlife surveys

Help us collect vital information about British wildlife. You are integral to the survival of local wildlife. We need you to count and collect information about different species to assess whether they need our help.

Take part in our surveys
Wildlife action

You can play a part in bringing the wild back to life without even leaving your garden. For example, you can make a small hole in your wall or fence so hedgehogs can move freely in your neighbourhood.

Take action where you live
Raise money for us
