Wear your Wellies for Wildlife

Get ready for some welly-good fun this autumn

Wear your Wellies for Wildlife

Wellys are back!

For a second year we are holding our great Wear your Wellies for Wildlife campaign which we hope will be just as successful as last year. We had cake sales, sponsored welly wearing walks and even welly wanging at a wedding - take a look for yourself! This year we would love even more of you wearing your wellies and raising money for your local wildlife.

Getting involved is easy!

Here are our Top 3 ways to take part and raise money...

1. Wear your Wellies

2. Get Baking

Design a Wildlife Welly

Another popular element of the campaign which has made it's return is our children's drawing competition to design a 'wildlife welly'. Lots of local schools and community groups took part in this last October, some used traditional pencil artwork, while others chose collage incorporating leaves and seedpods collected from one of their wildlife walks. This year we want our young supporters to unleash their inner artist to design something truly original and be in with a chance of winning a free badger watching evening at our Tewin Orchard Nature Reserve with local badger expert Michael Clark.

Need some inspiration? Take a look at last year's winners and and get your creative juices flowing.
