Why Join Durham Wildlife Trust?
Add your voice
Durham Wildlife Trust is the largest conservation organisation dedicated to our local area. With your backing, we are able to influence local authorities and other stakeholders to make better decisions for nature. What's more, Durham Wildlife Trust is one of 46 independent charities who together form the Wildlife Trusts, meaning that collectively we are also able to champion wildlife at a national and international level while maintaining our local efforts.
Protect
Your support enables us to care for and improve our 50 (and counting) nature reserves. From coast to river to countryside, there is a Durham Wildlife Trust nature reserve near you crammed with vibrant wildlife that needs your support.
Restore
With your backing we can continue to seek out areas for new wilding projects and transform landscapes into wildlife havens which sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
Educate
We know that a thriving natural environment and a connection to nature is essential for the health and wellbeing of people. By joining us you're supporting our education and outreach programmes which engage all ages with wildlife and nature.
Grow
Our precious habitats such as peatlands and fen are disappearing. But your membership helps us buy new land and create more space for nature.
