Protecting wildlife, Inspiring people.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust works to create a better future for wildlife and wild places in Hampshire and the Island. As a charity, we are concerned with all aspects of wildlife conservation in the region. We manage over 50 wildlife reserves as havens for wildlife and places for people to enjoy.
 
A very important aspect of our work is showing local communities that safeguarding our environment for the future is vital. Through our programme of events, activities and wildlife courses we hope to inspire people to enjoy their surroundings even more.
 
Living in Hampshire, you are always within a short distance of one of our wildlife reserves. Our website www.hwt.org.uk has a map with a complete list for you to review.
 
You can help to protect our wildlife by becoming a member of the Wildlife Trust. Your support gives us vital funds to continue our conservation work and lets us know that we are not alone in believing that protecting the Hampshire’s wildlife really matters.
 
Species sponsorship is another way in which you can help.
If you are looking for an unusual gift idea, or know somebody who shares your interest in wildlife, then one of our species sponsorship gifts would be ideal. This great gift will bring a sense of well being to both you and the recipient, while also making a valuable contribution towards the protection of our most threatened wildlife across Hampshire.
 
There are a large number of key species and habitats at risk available for you to sponsor including a red squirrel, water vole, wildflower meadow, common seal and grazing cattle. 
 
From as little as £20 you can sponsor a local species and in return the recipient will receive our gift pack which includes a photo greetings card, a factsheet about the species or habitat sponsored, and a certificate of sponsorship.
 
So, if you are struggling to think of birthday or Christmas gift idea, or not sure what to get the person who has everything, then a species sponsorship gift could be the answer.
 
To find out about all our gift ideas, including books, t-shirts, prints, cards, gift vouchers and gift membership, please visit our online shop www.hwt.org.uk/shop or you can order by phone on 01489 774400 or email: feedback@hwt.org.uk
 
We look forward to hearing from you. Your support is really appreciated.
