National Trust Nature Appeal
Swindon, United Kingdom
Aim
Your donation today will help restore and protect nature across National Trust places, from meadows and moorland to coast and countryside.
The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Nearly 1 in 6 species are threatened with extinction. Only 14% of England’s rivers are in good health. And 80% of butterfly species have declined since the 1970's, with 40% now at risk of extinction.
We need landscapes that are bigger, better connected and more resilient to help tackle climate change and support wildlife.
It's not too late to give nature hope.
Your donation today could create meadows, replenish woodland, grow new green spaces and encourage nature to flourish for future generations to enjoy.
Across our nations, signs of recovery are already emerging. After 400 years, beavers are returning and transforming wetlands, improving water quality and creating rich habitats where wildlife flourishes. If you’ve watched them on our live cams, you’ve seen this remarkable comeback first‑hand.
From restoring moorland peat in the Upper Plym Valley in Devon to keeping the River Eden flowing freely at Acorn Bank in Cumbria, donors to the National Trust are already helping to recover natural habitats and reconnect ecosystems, allowing us all to enjoy our beautifully biodiverse landscapes.
Your support can spark more recoveries like this across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Act now - nature can’t wait.
