WHO WILL CARE IN THE FUTURE?
Ensure a future for wildlife. Remember Cheshire Wildlife Trust in your Will.
Cheshire Wildlife Trust has been safeguarding Cheshire’s wildlife and wild places for more than forty years. We hope to be doing the same for many years to come, and with your help we shall.
Cheshire Wildlife Trust is the county’s leading wildlife charity. We are committed to protecting and preserving Cheshire’s natural heritage. We own or manage almost fifty nature reserves where rare and endangered species can flourish. We strive to increase public awareness of wildlife - we encourage people to visit our reserves and to become actively involved in our work and we run highly successful “Wildlife Watch” clubs for children .

The Cheshire countryside needs your protection.
- Our ponds are disappearing at an alarming rate – from 42,000 in 1870 to fewer than 17,000 today.
- Our woodland is down to about 3% of land total compared to 10% nationally.
- Our grasslands - the traditional wildflower meadows of our youth – cover fewer than 400 hectares and are being lost at a rate of up to 10% a year.
- Our Peatlands have virtually gone – we had to buy the last uncut lowland bog in Cheshire at Holcroft Moss
- Our range of species has declined tragically – seven types of butterfly extinct, no red squirrels, no corncrakes, no black grouse, no nightjar - ALL LOST IN OUR LIFETIME.
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE THE FUTURE TO CHANCE
Thank you!
