The future is far too important to be left to chance

This is why making a Will is so important

The proverb above really demonstrates why we must strive to leave a thriving world for our children and grandchildren. I write this in the hope that when you write your Will or update it you will remember your local wildlife. Once you have made sure the people you care about are provided for, please consider including a gift to Essex Wildlife Trust to ensure future generations can enjoy the natural beauty of Essex and its wildlife.

Essex Wildlife Trust is able to carry out very special work as a consequence of receiving a legacy. A gift of any size will help us to continue the excellent work of the Trust, enabling us to buy new nature reserves, enlarging our existing sites and safeguarding endangered species.

The coming decades will continue to bring new threats to Essex and its unique wildlife. Through your Will you can play a huge part in ensuring Essex Wildlife Trust is able to continue to fight for the country’s wildlife and to safeguard important sites for people and wildlife to enjoy. Please help to ensure we do only borrow the planet from our children by remembering Essex Wildlife Trust through your Will.

Lord Petre, ex Patron of Essex Wildlife Trust
