How you'll be helping

Your support will help to make more space for nature on nature reserves, farms, parks, gardens and even road verges - we're aiming for 30% of Dorset's land and sea to be managed for the benefit of nature by 2030.

By visibly taking action, you'll also inspire and empower other people in Dorset to take action for nature - we need 25% of the population to take action in order for Dorset's nature to recover.

What you'll receive

Your exclusive membership magazine, Dorset Wildlife, three times a year by post or online, that includes information about events, including guided walks, talks and much more.

A comprehensive guide to all 42 of our nature reserves. These safe havens for local wildlife are free for you to visit all year round.

Family members also receive our Wildlife Watch magazine for children three times a year, a Wildlife Watcher's Handbook, a membership card, badge, poster and stickers and access to fun family wildlife events.
