Supporting the Trust

Leaving a legacy

 
From whiddon

Where there is a Will there is a way....

Legacies have become an extremely important part of our income in recent years and have given us the opportunity of leading by example and practicing what we preach. We were fortunate to be able to purchase land adjoining our offices with a legacy from Vivien Lennon and we are creating areas of natural habitat to benefit many species of flora and fauna. To increase the biodiversity of the site we have recently added two large ponds supported by the legacies of Major Charles Oakley (Oakley Pond) and Florence Parsons (Flo Pond). Pages and slideshows about this will be added at a later date, so remember to keep checking back!!

Legacies can also help us to plan ahead for major projects - habitat improvement in areas where Barn Owls are struggling to survive due to lack of food and places to nest; educational resources for both adults and children; research projects to improve our understanding of the species........ the list goes on. There are so many things we'd like to do if the funding were available.

Leaving a legacy to the Trust is a very worthwhile way to make a difference and to be remembered in years to come. This is, after all, a final opportunity to have a positive influence on the heritage left for future generations.

Your solicitor will be happy to advise you on the different ways in which you can help the Barn Owl Trust and if you've already made a Will you could attach a codicil in order to remember Barn Owls.
