Donate to the British Trust for Ornithology
Despite the virus, our science isn’t stopping. Even if we are all eventually confined indoors, we will still be able to monitor the birds in our gardens, analyse and model the data we have, share our research with communities online, and more. We are working hard to ensure that the BTO community continues to be supported and that our staff are able to carry out their work safely. If this pandemic has taught us nothing else, it has shown how important scientific research is, and the need to further our understanding of the natural world.
As you can imagine, our fundraising and other activities have been severely affected by the current situation. Many of our events have been cancelled and other plans have been scaled back or postponed. This could dramatically impact the charity’s income, and therefore the work we can deliver. We will continue to communicate with you about our activities and the different ways in which you can get involved.
We are always grateful for your donations, big or small. If you are still able to give, please do so.
Thank you.
Each year we need to raise thousands of pounds to fund our research and monitoring of Britain's bird populations. The data obtained from our work provides crucial evidence for the conservation of bird species and habitats.
