Over the next two years, we want to raise £25,000 to purchase our own herd of rare breed cattle, which we will use to graze and help preserve wildflower meadow habitats in Nottinghamshire, especially around the Trent Vale area.
We are aiming to buy 11 Lincoln Red cattle - ten cows & one bull - to establish a breeding herd.
We'll be adding to this Cow Appeal page throughout the duration of the Appeal, so keep checking back for details of all kinds of events, ideas for fundraising, latest news and more.
There are many ways to donate to the Appeal - online, text or cheque. See below for details...
The Wildlife Trusts’ Marine Campaign
The Seas off the coast of the UK should be thriving with marine life, from tiny plants and animals to the large marine mammals such as whales, however due to years of neglect and abuse they retain little of their original biological diversity.
Our Seas are in trouble and if there is going to be any hope for the future of our seas we need to act NOW.
Thanks to the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 now is the time to help us do something.
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust is working in collaboration with eleven other Wildlife Trusts around the UK to help protect our seas, join us now to see how you can help. Please sign our petition or sign a scale of our Petition Fish at a Wildlife Trust event near you
Wildlife in the Wetlands
Welcome to the Wildlife in the Wetlands webpages.
Wildilife in the Wetlands is a new initiative showcasing wetland habitats across Nottinghamshire. We're running some great events, providing information and suggesting how you can help protect wetland widlife. We've listed some great events coming up for you to enjoy and have provided details of our fantastic wetland reserves for you to visit.
We'll be adding to this through the coming year with all kinds of activity sheets, events, volunteering dates, news and more. If you have any questions about wetlands or would like to share any pictures or stories then we'd love to hear from you. Contact us by email at support@nottswt.co.uk or call us on 0115 958 8242.
Ecominds
The Idle Valley Ecominds Project aims to improve mental health and well-being by offering individuals the chance to get involved in a range of conservation, horticulture and wildlife gardening tasks. The Idle Valley Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of Retford, is a former gravel extraction site which is now being restored to wetland habitat, mixed grassland and woodland. The nature reserve provides a beautiful and inspirational setting in which to learn new skills and develop an understanding of wildlife conservation and horticulture.
Wildlife in the City
Wildlife in the City is our 3 year initiative celebrating the green spaces of Nottingham city. We'll be launching a special website soon, but in the meantime here's all you need to know...
Mini Meadows 2011
Last year we gave away 15,000 free packs of wildflower seed! This year our Mini Meadow campaign is even bigger!
We are giving away 20,000 chances to grow your own Mini Meadow for free!
Over the last 50 years Britain has lost around 98% of its wildflower meadows but with your help we can create new spaces for the wonderful animals, birds and insects that rely on this threatened habitat for their survival.
