‘ Buy a Board’ and help make a difference so that everyone can step into nature
We need your support to replace the old wooden bridge and the remaining section of narrow wooden boardwalk over the reedbeds – creating an accessible route around the reserve for everyone
Every ‘board’ purchased brings us closer to our £115,104 fundraising target
This is your opportunity to contribute, be a part of this exciting project and leave a lasting legacy
Your donation will be recognised on our virtual Donor Wall, and your name(s) etched on to a wooden display board at the reserve
How to order:
- Decide how much you would you like to donate (we anticipate the average donation to be £75: you are welcome to donate more or less)
- Compose your inscription of up to 100 characters including spaces
- ‘Buy your board’ by donating via The Good Exchange using the ‘Buy your board’ button below
- Let us know by emailing us here or use the link below, with your name(s) and inscription
- If you’d like your name(s) and inscription to be anonymous to the public, that’s absolutely fine too!
Please note:
- We reserve the right to reject wording for our virtual donor wall that we deem is inappropriate

- Your name(s) will added to a wooden panel sited on the reserve, using pyrography (etching by burning wood)
- We are raising funds through ‘buy a board’ to replace the old wooden bridge and the remaining section of boardwalk
