Emergency Storm Goretti Fund
Thankyou for helping the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust recover from Storm Goretti
Storm Goretti in winter 2025-26 left a trail of devastation across the Isles of Scilly. Strong and sustained winds of approximately 100mph and heavy rain caused widespread damage to the islands’ landscapes, with a significant proportion of the Trust’s trees felled, many onto other sensitive habitats.
The Isles of Scilly are home to unique and rare species and their habitats are incredibly delicate. The loss of so many trees and the damage to landscape made the Trust’s land management and habitat restoration work more urgent than ever.
In the aftermath of the storm your support made a big difference, allowing us to clear fallen trees carefully from vulnerable habitats and restore access to nature trails, coastal paths, wetland and nature reserves for residents and future visitors
Your donations have helped us protect and restore these unique landscapes, ensuring that the islands’ wildlife can recover and thrive for generations to come.
Thank you for standing with the islands and their wildlife.
