Become a Wildlife Patron
Be at the heart of our work
As a Wildlife Patron, you will join a unique group of supporters and make a bigger difference to nature.
Your support will enable us to:
- Protect native wildlife and habitats, from choughs to ancient woodland, rare bees and butterflies to incredible marine wildlife in Cornwall’s seas.
- Manage and develop 59 nature reserves (including an island) throughout Cornwall.
- Work with farmers and landowners to create more space for wildlife.
- Influence politicians, planners, and financiers to make decisions which allow nature to thrive.
- Inspire and educate those who love Cornwall to take meaningful action for nature.
A closer relationship
Patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy a close and special relationship with Cornwall Wildlife Trust and its work, meeting people involved and getting behind the scenes. We are pleased to offer:
- Exclusive invitations for you and your guest(s) to events around the county to see work in progress and the impact of our work.
- An opportunity to meet our Chief Executive Officer at the annual Patrons’ lunch to learn of our future plans.
- Bespoke updates about Cornwall Wildlife Trust's work.
As the Wildlife Patron scheme is a form of membership of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, you will also receive a copy of our magazine, Wild Cornwall, three times a year (and a welcome pack if you are not already a member). The benefits of the Patron scheme are available for a minimum amount. Anything in excess of that amount is a voluntary donation and is outside the scope of VAT.
If you would like to become a Wildlife Patron, please do get in touch with Andrea or Lisa who will be happy to help.
