Making a difference, together

 

In 2023-24, members' support helped us to:

  • Fledge 35 barn owl chicks through habitat management and nest-box erection
  • Manage 850 hectares of land for wildlife – equivalent to 1,190 football pitches – to create homes for local nature
  • Monitor over 2,000 seabirds on Isle of Muck Nature Reserve, including kittiwakes, gannets, puffins and razorbills
  • Restore 40 hectares of peatland, to lock away CO₂ and create future habitat for local wildlife
