Wildlife Champions
Wildlife Champions
Power to the People!
Our goal is to make Avon a much wilder and more natural place and we believe that everyone should enjoy the benefits of being surrounded by nature. Actions at a local level are key - they create valuable stepping stones for wildlife and link up larger green spaces where nature can thrive. As part of the Team Wilder movement our aim is to have a Wildlife Champion in every postcode across the Avon region (Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset) by 2030.
Between early 2023 – March 2025, with thanks to National Lottery Players, we were able to support an initial network of 12 Wildlife Champions who have been developing projects to connect people and nature in their neighbourhoods, creating more space for wildlife to thrive and more opportunities for people to notice and celebrate nature in their day to day lives.
We are excited to see local people stepping forward to give nature a voice and make a real and lasting difference for nature where they live.
This project has been made possible thanks to National Lottery players at The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
