Find Out How You Can Support Us

We aim to protect our area for the benefit of all who live there and visit. However we cant do this entirely on our own. We have had support from various organisations in the past, notably Elloughton-cum-Brough Town Council, but this funding is getting harder to find. Without it our work would have to stop and the woods would be closed. You can help in a number of ways:
  • You can become a member
  • You can make a donation
  • You can help maintain the Reserve by joining our working parties
  • You can also take on a role helping out team organize what we do. In particular we are currently seeking a Secretary and have several vacancies for Trustees
