FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Natural World Fund is the place for people who want to help but don’t know how – we make it easy by giving you clear and easy steps to do your part to help our wildlife in the UK.
National World Fund was set up by two nature lovers, Edward Jackson and Glenn Howes, and you can find out more about us HERE.
We saw the need to fill the gaps and do the restoration work that nobody else wants to do!
When doing restoration works of scale, typically it covers multiple land owners, has complex requirements, and entails bespoke holistic approaches to maximise the biodiversity value of the area.
Unfortunately, many organisations have objectives that are too narrow, or require owning the land, or simply don’t have enough resources. This is where we come in. It doesn’t matter to us who owns the land, only that the right restoration work is done in the right place to benefit the local wildlife most.
From as little as £7.50 a month you can make a real positive impact for British nature and our restoration efforts.
As a member, your funds will go directly towards rewilding land and creating havens for nature throughout our country. We will provide you with regular updates to each project and invite you to come down and see the great work you are funding.
Yes, we are a non-profit community interest company where donations are legally protected to only go towards rewilding causes.
Your money will go directly towards the rewilding process. While fundraising, almost 100% of donations will go directly towards rewilding as Ed and Glenn personally absorb the other costs. In the longer term, a minimum of 80% of revenue is guaranteed to go directly to restoring land, with the remaining 20% put towards day-to-day operating costs.
We are currently in the fundraising stage but we expect to announce our first piece of restoration work imminently – so stay tuned!
No, we don’t. Unlike many other rewilding and tree-planting organisations, we are not paying ourselves a penny while fundraising so that we can commit as much as possible towards restoring nature.
Trees are just one aspect of rewilding. British nature thrives best when there are mosaic habitats including forests, meadows and wetlands. Focusing on native species, our approach will always be tailored to the needs of the local area and its wildlife.
While nature restoration does offset carbon, we are not a carbon offsetting organisation as such. Carbon offsetting companies generally focus on how to absorb the most carbon – not what is actually most beneficial for our wildlife. We believe in nature restoration to help our struggling wildlife, and the carbon captured is a fantastic side effect.
Our experts will coordinate the land management together with land owners.
The land will be protected with landowner agreements and conservation covenants.
You can help by sharing our cause with your friends and family so that together we can restore even more land.
