Give a gift in your Will

A gift in your Will ensures your legacy lives on in the wildlife and wild places you love most.
The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales is a charity dedicated to protecting the region’s most precious wild places for people and wildlife. But, we couldn’t protect Welsh wildlife – our special seabirds, rare Red Squirrels and magnificent marine life - without your support.
Every gift we receive helps us to continue our vital work to restore nature across the region and connect people with wildlife in Wales. Once you’ve provided for your loved ones, a gift in your Will to WTSWW ensures your love of wildlife lives on.
Every gift in every Will, however large or small, makes a huge difference.

Marion's legacy
Thanks to a generous gift from Marion Price we were able to create a new nature reserve in Ceredigion, Rhos Marion. Her gift enabled us to buy 7 hectares of species-rich grassland next to two existing nature reserves. Marion's legacy lives on in the orchids and butterflies flourishing on the reserve.

Megan's legacy
Megan Jones kindly left a gift in her Will which enabled us to install 50 nest boxes across our reserves in Ceredigion. These boxes have provided a safe place for Kestrels, Barn Owls and Tawny Owls to breed. Megan's legacy lives on in the birds of prey that call Teifi Marshes and Cwm Clettwr home.

Karen’s legacy
Renovation of Parc Slip Visitor Centre was made possible in part thanks to a gift from a dedicated volunteer, Karen Morris. Her gift helped to improve the visitor centre and nature reserve that she had known so well. Karen's legacy lives on in every visitor who gets to enjoy the beauty of Parc Slip.

Securing Skokholm's future
Without gifts in Wills The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales wouldn't have been able to purchase the last piece of Skokholm Island in 2013. This included the lighthouse and the surrounding land which is a delicate honeycomb of nesting burrows, home to Puffins and Manx Shearwaters. Thanks to this legacy, we were able to secure the future of these special seabirds.
