🌿🦉“Conservation is about seeing how everything in nature is connected. Nothing lives in isolation – every plant, animal, and insect depends on something else”.
From our annual Long-Eared Owl survey to the ongoing Adopt-a-Box programme, every Hawk and Owl Trust initiative supports not just the wildlife on our nature reserves, but the entire web of life they’re part of – including us as humans.
Chris Sperring, our dedicated Conservation Officer, knows this better than anyone - after all, he's been a driving force behind our community projects for over 30 years, building lasting relationships and creating conservation initiatives that stand the test of time.
