Leave a gift in your will
Love it. Protect it. Pass it on.
We all want future generations to enjoy a world where people and nature thrive together.
Perhaps you’ve watched the sun set from Wittenham Clumps, spotted wildlife on a favourite walk, or shared special moments outdoors with family and friends. Over time, these places become part of who we are. We return to them, care about them, and create memories that last a lifetime.
For more than 40 years, Earth Trust has been protecting wildlife and helping people build meaningful connections with nature, from the iconic Wittenham Clumps to our community reserves across Oxfordshire. Today, thanks to supporters like you, that work continues.
Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to protect the landscapes you love and pass them on to future generations.
Christopher helped care for the Wittenham Clumps, planting trees, restoring habitats and protecting wildlife.

Gifts in wills are already making a difference
Recent gifts in wills have helped Earth Trust care for the Wittenham Clumps, create wildlife ponds and restore species-rich meadow habitat.
A legacy gift from the Lucas family enabled us to create an inspirational wildlife pond.
Thanks to their support, we established a rainwater garden which many of you will have seen outside our Education Centre; an entirely new habitat to support a range of wildlife and providing wellbeing benefits for visitors. Demonstrating a creative way to harvest rainwater and support biodiversity, the benefits of this generous gift will be felt for many years to come.
