Restore, Reclaim and Renew: Helping Nature Thrive Again

Donate Now

Over the next year we have an ambitious plan to make a huge difference to our counties. The work we do depends on more than just project-based funding — it requires a strong foundation to drive long-term impact. This funding enables us to keep our essential operations running, from maintaining vital resources to empowering our dedicated teams.

This year we aim to raise £60,000 to create a sustainable foundation for our conservation efforts. With your support we'll be ready to tackle urgent challenges, support innovative projects, and protect wildlife and nature every day.

With your help, we will Restore, Reclaim and Renew. Together, we will breathe new life into our counties.

RESTORE: Creating Space for Nature

We all want to see new land for nature's recovery across our region. Our Strategy for 2030 is to secure 30% of land for nature’s recovery, increasing space for nature and reversing the decline in species. Your generosity will:

Help us develop new nature reserves, creating new sanctuaries for wildlife

Enhance our existing reserves, making them even more vibrant and resilient

Secure new land for conservation, safeguarding places for future generations

We are already working on plans to transform the new James Adler reserve into an area bursting with wildlife, rich in biodiversity and for it to sit within the heart of the community. New access routes, land management and project development all need funding to help make this happen.

RECLAIM: Building Nature Recovery Networks

Creating partnerships and connecting people to nature by working with landowners and businesses to work together for the benefit of nature. Reclaiming areas of lost habitat by working with farmers, businesses, golf clubs and many other groups to build wildlife corridors connecting areas together to allow more movement for wildlife and increase abundance of species. Your gifts will:

Create vital wildlife corridors, ensuring that wildlife can move freely and safely across our landscape

Foster strong partnerships, enabling us to work hand-in-hand with local landowners and organisations to create a network of wildlife-friendly spaces

We already have an established network of landowners committed to working with nature in mind. The Corridor Club in Charnwood Forest is connecting vital areas through wildlife corridors, and The Greener Golf Group is dedicated to working in a more wildlife friendly way. With your support we can engage with more partners on a larger scale to create a bigger, more joined up region full of wild landscapes and areas for nature.

RENEW: Giving Nature a Voice

We believe nature should be at the heart of our communities and that every local project needs to consider the needs of wildlife. With your support, we can help renew the connection to nature that our communities need to support their healthy lives, their mental health and well being. Your support will:

Help us enable communities to advocate for wildlife, ensuring it remains at the forefront of local agendas

Expand our community outreach, enabling more people to have the chance to connect with and protect the natural world

We are already engaging with national campaigns and bringing these messages to our supporters with the aim of gaining a stronger voice for nature, inspiring more people to experience the benefits of nature close to home. We are looking to work with more groups and engage with more partners to develop the infrastructure, networks and forums needed for our work to really take root in communities.
