Your chance to win a £4.5 million house and protect our precious peatlands

We’re so excited to join forces with Omaze for their Cornwall House Draw. When you enter, you could be in with a chance of winning this stunning £4.5m house, plus £250,000 in cash. But that’s not all – every entry helps the RSPB protect and restore our precious UK peatland. Peatland is one of our most valuable wild places. It provides homes for wildlife, improves water quality and prevents flooding. It also locks away carbon, helping in the fight against climate change.

About the Cornwall House

With incredible sea views and four vibrant green roofs, this luxury home just outside Falmouth could be your natural paradise! And it could be a haven for wildlife too. Making the home your own by planting wildlife-friendly flowers, adding bug hotels or building a pond would all benefit birds, bees and more. And, when we take small actions for nature in our outdoor space, they add up to make a big difference for wildlife.

This home could be yours when you enter the Cornwall House Draw, and you’ll be helping the RSPB to save our precious peatlands at the same time.

Be an Early Bird

When you enter the Draw by 11 August, you’ll also be in with a chance of winning an electric VW camper van and £100,000.

What better way to enjoy a wild adventure than to head off in your very own cool camper van. This could be your ticket to seeing some the best places for wildlife in the UK.

Why peatlands matter

Peatlands are one of nature’s greatest superpowers. They provide a home for some of the UK’s rarest birds, plants and bugs. And they play a vital role in helping to tackle the nature and climate emergency. 

What is Peatland? Can it save the planet?

Peatlands improve the quality of our water (70% of drinking water comes from areas dominated by peatland), help prevent floods, and are home to wonderful birds and other wildlife, from skydancing Hen Harriers, to hares and even insect-eating sundew plants. They also lock away carbon, so benefit the environment. Peatland covers just 3% of the planet, yet it stores more carbon than all the world’s forests. They’re also wonderful wild places to enjoy.

But they’re in trouble. In the UK, around 80% of these wet, boggy landscapes are damaged or deteriorating. This damage threatens the amazing peatland wildlife, reduces the quality of our water, and increases the risk of flooding. It also causes the stored carbon to be released back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. We’re working to stop that.
