Protect your natural landscape and dedicate an acre alive with wildflowers

Plantlife has been saving fragile habitats since we were founded in the late eighties. We now have over 4,500 acres of reserves protected across England, Scotland and Wales. They range from spectacular blanket bog in the north of Scotland to ancient hay meadows in Somerset.
Not only do Plantlife's reserves afford sanctuary for some of our most beloved flowers - Kingcups and fritillaries in the rich flood plains of Lugg Meadows, Cowslips and orchids at Deep Dale in Derbyshire and Bluebell woods in Sussex and Kent - but they are also havens for rarer plants such as Marsh Saxifrage, Meadow Clary and Early Spider-orchid.
Plantlife reserves are also important refuges for wildlife, such as red squirrels in Cumbria, and Marsh Fritillary butterflies in Cornwall. Wildflower reserves demand careful management: coppicing trees to ensure that sunlight reaches the woodland floor, taking a hay crop in late summer and grazing animals over the winter. Plantlife has 23 reserves, and each can cost an average of £10,000 a year to look after.

Dedicating an acre of wildflowers links a family event or a loved one forever with some of the most beautiful corners of Britain and provides security and protection for the flowers, lichens, mosses and wildlife that flourish there.
For a donation of £500 we will send you a photograph of the reserve, beautifully framed, which can include up to 30 words of your choice to reflect your dedication. All our nature reserves are open and free to visit at any time. To keep our wildflower reserves as natural as possible, your dedication will not be marked on the ground.
