Leave a gift that lasts for generations
What made you fall in love with the British countryside? Whether it was the call of a curlew or a day spent with a loved one that sparked your love for the countryside, your gift will ensure that future generations can experience the same joy and wonder.
By leaving a gift to the GWCT in your Will, you will be doing something very special. You will be giving us the best chance of ensuring the countryside you love is there to be enjoyed by generations to come. So that they can have that same moment that makes them love the nature around them.
Today, we face new challenges in conservation, including legal challenges to general licences, calls for a ban on burning, and debates over the future of grouse shooting and pheasant releasing. With your gift, we can continue to be a leading voice in these discussions and provide the tools and advice needed for wildlife to thrive.
Your support will also help us ensure that politicians make better-informed decisions on conservation issues, such as snaring and songbirds. You can help us to keep standing up for the countryside for years to come.

We’re in it for the long run
The GWCT has been working for three generations to inform the management of the landscape and support conservation practices that benefit wildlife. Our findings have played a crucial role in understanding the impact of predators on ground-nesting birds, the benefits of wellmanaged shoots for biodiversity, and the positive contributions of farmers to the environment.
Our groundbreaking work would not have been possible without the support of our members and donors like you. We are grateful for the generosity of those who have helped fund our mission to make a positive impact on the British countryside.
If you share our passion for preserving the natural beauty of the British countryside, we hope you will consider joining the hundreds of individuals who have made a lasting impact by leaving a gift in their Will to our organization. Your generosity will ensure that the countryside remains a thriving ecosystem for both wildlife and the people who enjoy it for many generations to come. Together, we can make a difference.
Leaving a gift couldn’t be easier
Did you know that the only information you need to include us in your Will is our registered charity name and number?
Writing a Will is a significant moment in anyone’s life, and choosing to support a charity like ours through a gift in your Will is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps us to continue our mission to preserve the British countryside for future generations.
You also have the flexibility to choose how much you would like to leave. You can leave as little as 1%, which ensures that your loved ones will still inherit the majority of your assets, while also supporting the countryside that you love.
“I am leaving a gift as a thank you to the GWCT for providing the independent data to Government and other bodies to support shooting and fishing and all the benefits it brings to the countryside and wildlife
itself. I hope it will be a small help that it will continue into the future.”
David Ramply, GWCT member, committee member and legator
