Adoption Shemes

Adopt a Wood: In the last 30 years we have destroyed more of our ancient woodlands than any equivalent period in modern history - England now has less than 2% of its original woodlands left.

The scattered fragments of our once majestic forests remain under threat. Development, conifer plantation and sheer neglect continue to exact their toll, with terrible consequences for the species they support.

The once common dormouse is declining, as is the nightingale. The much loved badger lives under constant threat from development and vicious baiters. The pearl-bordered fritillary butterfly was common at the turn of the century in our 3 counties. It is now found in just one wood. Even the well loved primrose will disappear if our woodlands are not saved.

If you care about our woodland and their wildlife the time has come to act.

For just ú8 a month (ú96 a year) you can protect an acre of ancient woodland in a BBONT reserve near you.

The choice of woodland is: Foxholes (158 acres SSSI), Baynes Reserve (140 acres SSSI), Little Linford (105 acres SSSI), Warburg Reserve (257 acres SSSI), Finmere Wood, Rushbeds Wood, Sydling's Copse, Millfield Wood, Whitecross Green and Moor Copse.
