What kind of projects do our members support?

Because of our members we’ve been able to

  • Help many iconic species make comebacks, from Red Kites to Cranes to Beavers!   
  • Speak up for nature-friendly policies which have made a real difference to our wildlife. This includes stopping industrial sandeel fishing to help seabirds like Puffins and Kittiwakes, and the successful lobbying for the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill in Scotland, which aims to stop the persecution of birds of prey like Golden Eagles and Hen Harriers.  
  • Inspire huge numbers of people to make space for nature in our homes and communities through activities like Big Garden Birdwatch. Our flagship event saw more than 600,000 people take part.

 

Please note that the examples above are illustrations of where money may be spent. Membership money is used to fund a wide variety of work, wherever the need is greatest.
