Stuck for that perfect gift idea? Fed up of wasting paper? Our virtual gift will make an environmentally responsible, unique and thoughtful present for a loved one and will help us keep our woodlands alive with the sound of birdsong!

We will send a beautiful e-card to your loved one via email, telling them that this gift has helped Worcestershire Wildlife Trust protect and manage nesting sites for birds across the county. The e-card also can be personalised with your own special message.

Many woodlands and other wild places with nesting sites for birds have been damaged or destroyed. Your gift helps us to monitor and maintain the nest boxes on our nature reserves, increasing the number of potential nesting sites and improving the chances of birds breeding successfully. Nest boxes help keep the eggs warm whilst giving the parents security from predators and shelter from the elements. The boxes also give us the opportunity to monitor the lifestyles of the birds using them and gives us valuable information on how best to manage our nature reserves so that even more birds can breed, nest and rear their young.

Your gift will be used to help the many birds which live and breed on our nature reserves.

* Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is entitled to reclaim the tax made on gifts by UK tax payers. This means that if you are a UK tax payer, your donation can increase by 25% - at no extra cost to you. If you choose to gift aid your donation, please remember that you need to have paid an amount of UK Income and/or Capital Gains tax in any tax year at least equal to the amount claimed by all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs you donate to, (currently 25p per £1 donated). If this will not be the case or you cease to be a taxpayer, please let us know. Also, if you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax in the current year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
