Charity No: 1201419 (England & Wales).
The Barn Owl Trust is a small national charity tucked away in South Devon that has been doing big things to conserve and protect not only the Barn Owl, but also the natural world. Anyone who has ever watched a Barn Owl hunting has surely been touched by the experience, but in the last century the number of these beautiful birds declined significantly due to environmental and man-made pressures.
Today our small but dedicated team of staff and volunteers believe that reversing the Barn Owls’ decline can be achieved, from practicing practical conservation work such as land management and erection of nestboxes, to increasing environmental awareness through talks and courses for professionals and the public. This includes turning 26 acres of intensively managed land, purchased with our first major legacy, into a nature reserve where wildlife thrives. We have carried out groundbreaking research into causes of decline (such as major road mortality and barn conversions) and made recommendations for policy change.
Founded in 1988, the Barn Owl Trust has established an excellent reputation amongst conservation organisations. We rely on donations and legacies to fund our work and your legacy to the Barn Owl Trust will make a huge difference. It will enable us to continue our conservation and environmental work, educating the next generation, rescuing and rehabilitating injured owls and encouraging habitat creation. It will help us to continue providing high quality information and protecting the Barn Owl for future generations.
