How your membership helps Dorset's wildlife
We will use your support where it’s needed most, whether that’s coppicing woodland so dormice and other species can thrive, installing nest boxes for threatened birds and mammals, or monitoring water voles so we can understand the best way to help them recover.
You can also purchase full price memberships as gifts in our online shop.
We promise to spend your membership wisely
75p of every £1 goes towards our work to save local wildlife
