Gift in Will

Gift in Will

Help us protect wildlife long into the future.

Wiltshire is a glorious and unique county with stunning landscapes. Wherever you live, there's a wonderful choice of wild places to visit and enjoy our native wildlife - historic woodland, wildflower meadows, hedgerows, streams, rivers, chalk downland, valleys, bogs and wetlands. We want to ensure that we can sustain the nature that surrounds us, so that wildlife and people can flourish.

However, if we don't protect Wiltshire's natural heritage, it could be lost forever. So, after you've made sure your loved ones are looked after, please consider giving a Gift in your Will to Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. Gifts in Wills are vital to all areas of our work, so any gift you give, whatever size, will make a big difference. By pledging such a gift, you will ensure a better future for wildlife in Wiltshire for years to come.

Your gift makes a difference

Christine Rolt

"Mum had been a long-time supporter of the wildlife trusts, at least as far back as the 1980s when as children we used to receive the wildlife watch materials… following her recovery from cancer she embarked on her fundraising walk in 2018 visiting all the trust's reserves in Wiltshire. Following such commitment to the aims and principles of the wildlife trusts, she naturally asked that a significant donation be made from her estate. She had specified that she wanted this to be put towards a worthwhile project… we decided that the proposed work at Jones's Mill (a place she and my dad had particularly enjoyed visiting) would absolutely have been something she would have supported.

It is good to know that her legacy lives on through this project."

~ Will Rolt, son of Christine Rolt.

Why it is important to think about this now

We have lived in Wiltshire for 50 years and have enjoyed the landscapes and wildlife here with our family. It seems fitting to give something back for all the "free" experiences we have had over the years. Hence the legacy we have included in our Wills... so Wiltshire Wildlife Trust can do even more to help the priceless environment for future generations.

"The last time the UK's wildlife faced a challenge on this scale was at the end of the last Ice Age.

We need to find ways to help our wildlife become more resilient to the trials it faces in the 21st century. We must now work on a landscape scale if we are to give wildlife a chance and allow future generations to enjoy nature as we have.

Anyone who cares about wildlife has a marvellous opportunity to do something quite unique, by remembering Wiltshire Wildlife Trust in their Will. This generous act is one of the most important things you can do to make sure the species and habitats we love will be there for future generations to enjoy."

~ Sir David Attenborough, Vice-President of The Wildlife Trusts
