Leave a lasting legacy for wildlife

If you love the natural world, please consider leaving us a gift in your Will to help save wildlife for the future.

Leave a legacy in your Will

Our supporters, like you, have already helped us do so much for wildlife. Over one third of our funding comes from kind bequests left to PTES and funds have supported projects on almost 300 threatened species around the world, in over 60 countries. Our vision is to build on those successes for all wildlife.

Let’s create an even brighter future

Your legacy can give hedgehogs the chance to thrive once again across our country. Numbers have fallen perilously low in some parts of the countryside. We’re working with farmers and landowners to help them manage their land in ways that benefits wildlife whilst producing the food we need. Rejuvenating the hedgerows that link our countryside is a crucial part of the work we’re doing for this and many other species too.

“I would like to help in the only way I can to ensure our natural heritage is there for future generations to learn from and marvel at.”
Paula Charlton

Your legacy could help us support so many communities around the world live happily alongside wildlife.

“I am proud to support PTES. This small organisation is making a big impact on conservation. It’s strong scientific base and ability to engage thousands of volunteer conservationists, makes PTES a powerful force for change.”
Jonathan Choat
