Sponsor a swallow box

Provide a home and a future for a swallow

A symbol that summer is coming, these acrobatic birds are facing threats across Europe. Migrating between the UK and South Africa these fearless birds travel to the same locations where they hatch to breed new generations of birds.

Populations have been declining sharply since 2010 due to habitat change, climate change, changes of farming practices and reduced prey abundance. We can help them by installing structures where they can nest in peace.

£30 per sponsorship (one new home)

What is included:

Regular updates from our surveys to see who’s living in your nest box.
Certificate of sponsorship to confirm your participation.
Fact sheet about the dormouse.
Personalised plaque displayed in the park.

What you need to know before sponsoring:

Sponsorship lasts for one year from start date. Select the date on the calender as the date you wish the sponsorship to start.
The physical location of our survey site and therefore the location of your sponsored nest box, are confidential. You will not be able to visit the nest box you sponsor.
The box you sponsor may not be occupied by a dormouse family. All data gathered is valuable, even when the nest box is vacant or occupied by an animal other than a dormouse.
Your certificate, photograph and fact sheet will be sent to you by mail.
The nest box you sponsor will be put in place at a time according to the demands of the survey. 
The plaque acknowledging your support will be displayed in the park.
Your plaque and certificate will contain the text exactly as written. Be aware that due to the size of our plaques, there is a 30 character text limit.
Plaques can take up to 14 days to produce and mount. Please phone us on 01404 822188 to ensure that your plaque is mounted before visiting.
