This Christmas, your donation will help children discover nature - and protect the green spaces they need.
Imagine growing up without birdsong, butterflies, or the feel of grass underfoot. For many children in disadvantaged urban areas, this is already their reality.
Nature is disappearing - the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world and one in six species is now at risk of extinction. And as nature disappears, so do children’s chances to experience it.
We can't afford to wait.
That's why The Conservation Volunteers is acting now - and we need your help.
This Christmas, help children become the future guardians of nature.
Your gift will give children the chance to experience the wonder of nature —sparking a lifelong love for wildlife and green spaces. When children connect with nature, they grow into passionate protectors of our planet.
Why it matters
Bug hunting, building campfires, growing vegetables—these simple experiences can ignite a child’s curiosity and inspire them to care for the environment. But too many children miss out – and without these experiences, nature loses its future guardians.
What your donation does
Your donation will help fund school visits to our nature sites and protect these green spaces - so children can explore, handle wildlife, and discover the magic of the outdoors. These experiences create memories that inspire them to protect nature for years to come.
After spending time on a wild day out, one child commented:
“I might have found new hobby – watching and looking at birds.”
And a teacher commented on how valuable it is for children to:
“Investigate and explore new things in the fresh air and see nature for themselves – not in a book or on an ipad.”
Give a child the gift of nature today — and help build a future where wildlife thrives.
