Archers Green is a wildlife site that contains one of the planet’s most precious habitats. But we urgently need your help to protect it. Please help us buy and protect this rare wildlife site - donate at: hertswildlifetrust.org.uk/archersgreen
Chalk streams are so rare that they’re often likened to being the UK’s equivalent to tropical rainforests - and are at devastating risk of disappearing.
Grasslands too, with their bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators, are vanishing at an alarming rate in the UK. Both are victims of development and pollution.
Now we have an unmissable opportunity to secure and protect a site that contains both these vital wildlife habitats. But we need your help.
Archers Green is a beautiful 20-acre site near Welwyn Garden City with the river Mimram running through it. When we saw it come up for sale, we had to act fast to stop the site from falling into unsympathetic hands.
We secured a philanthropic loan which enabled the site to be taken off the market. Now we must raise £500,000 to pay back the loan and care for the site for the future.
If we don’t manage to raise the money needed, the site may have to go back on the open market, which would put the wildlife there at risk. This would be a tragedy, right in the middle of the biggest nature crisis we have known in our lifetimes.
