Leave a legacy
A legacy to BBOWT is a gift that will help our wildlife for generations to come
These gifts help us nurture and protect wild spaces, so that local species can thrive. Your future support could help BBOWT achieve remarkable things.
Your gifts make a big difference
Recent legacies have helped us to:
- Restore a wet meadow on the Upper River Ray to help protect threatened wading birds like redshank, snipe and curlew.
- Double the size of our Finemere Wood Nature Reserve in Bucks, vital for the nationally-rare black hairstreak butterfly.
- Care for Warburg Nature Reserve in Oxon, home to rare orchids and fascinating fungi.
- Help us buy land at Duxford Old River and extend Chimney Meadows nature reserve to both sides of the River Thames.

Ascot Lloyd & BBOWT - leaving a legacy for nature
We are excited that BBOWT has teamed up with independent financial advisers Ascot Lloyd.
In this video, BBOWT’s Estelle Bailey and Ascot Lloyd’s David Melloy discuss the importance of wealth planning to ensure you can enjoy your retirement years, leave your family a financial gift and include a donation to charity in your Will.
If you would like to talk to Ascot Lloyd about financial advice, please fill out this form to submit your enquiry to Ascot Lloyd.
Ascot Lloyd donates 20% of your initial fee back to BBOWT upon becoming an Ascot Lloyd client.
Your Will is there to protect those you love for the future - and for me that means remembering wildlife too.BBOWT volunteer and legacy pledger
