Thank you for donating to Save our Shorebirds

Thank you for your donation

Thank you for donating to our appeal to Save our Shorebirds. Money raised through our summer appeal will go towards protecting Scilly's most vulnerable breeding birds, like oystercatchers and ringed plovers, which nest around the islands. Our team have worked with the local island communities, businesses and young people to identify and protect nests where possible, put up signs and cordons where required, and we're asking people to keep dogs on leads near to nesting birds and young chicks. But we can do more with your help, now and in the future. Thank you.

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust works tirelessly to look after around half the islands, for people and wildlife. We manage 700ha of the islands for nature (including the coastlines, heath and moorlands and wetlands). We clear 85km of paths annually so that people can access spectacular wild places. We monitor and carry out conservation for iconic species, from grey seals to seabirds, bats to rare plants. This year, we have worked with 250 local school age children. Our ambition for the archipelago and its wildlife is limitless.
