Become a Reserve Guardian

Protect Montgomeryshire’s wild places and leave a lasting legacy!

Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust cares for over 510 hectares of land across 18 nature reserves, from wild expanses to urban oases. These reserves are home to some of Montgomeryshire's best loved and most threatened wildlife, such as otters, Ospreys, orchids, dormice, ancient woodlands and rare butterflies. These special wild places are not just vital for wildlife, but are also sanctuaries for people, offering communities spaces to reconnect with nature and improve their mental and physical wellbeing. 

But caring for these sites isn’t easy; it costs thousands of pounds each year to maintain and protect our reserves. Since the 1970s, we’ve lost 41% of our native wildlife and one in six species is now at risk of extinction - spaces like nature reserves where wildlife can thrive have never been more important. And this is where you can help us.

Becoming a Reserve Guardian is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses. It offers a chance to inspire your team, stand up for wildlife and leave a meaningful mark on Montgomeryshire's future!

Why become a Reserve Guardian?

With as little as a £3,000 investment, your business won't just be sponsoring a local nature reserve, you'll also be supporting wildlife, protecting important wild places in the county, tackling climate change, promoting the wellbeing of local communities and showing staff and customers you care about a greener future for Montgomeryshire. 

It's an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to corporate social responsibility in the local community: taking responsibility and making a difference on your doorstep.

As a Reserve Guardian, your support goes further than one site. Funds raised through the scheme are pooled into our Reserves Fund, helping to care for all 18 of our nature reserves across Montgomeryshire, ensuring these special places are protected for years to come.

It’s more than charity - it’s leadership in action.
