How your donations help

The society’s work in protecting the St. Helen’s Woods nature reserve can only take place with the support of the public. If you are a regular walker in the woods, or live close to the woods, why not consider giving regularly, or making a one-off donation?

Any amount, however, big or small, makes a huge difference.
