Our water voles are under threat!Will you help protect water voles in Berks, Bucks and Oxon before these beautiful little animals disappear from our streams and riverbanks?
Water voles are the fastest declining mammal in the country, but here in the three counties water vole populations have grown during the last 5 years. This is due to BBOWT’s careful and dedicated conservation work over nearly 2 decades.
But now our water voles’ future is uncertain.
Without your help today, our water vole work will have to stop for lack of funding. Insensitive works on riverbanks or the presence of just one American mink can quickly wipe out a water vole colony.
Please give now to help us continue our vital conservation work. You will help safeguard water voles’ future locally.

If the appeal exceeds its target, any surplus will be used to protect other endangered mammals
