Thanks to a short-term land purchase agreement with the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the Trust has been able to take immediate steps to safeguard the site from a return to intensive agriculture. This agreement provides a vital window of time to secure the funds needed to purchase the land and protect it permanently.

Your donation will be used for the purpose of purchasing land at Hawthorpe and protecting it in perpetuity. Should we not reach our appeal target, or the sale of the land is unable to proceed, the funds raised will be used to further enhance our work on nature reserves and wider conservation in the area. If we exceed our target, we will be able to increase our impact and invest further resources into helping nature recover at Hawthorpe.
