5. Give wildlife a wonderful home
National Trust membership gives back to nature every day. This means that animals like the beavers at Holnicote Estate in Somerset are able to thrive. In January 2020 we released a pair back into the wild, and since then they've been loving their new home. Their reintroduction, thanks to members like you, means that the rivers they build dams in will face less erosion and flash flooding, helping the whole ecosystem on the estate.
They’re just two from a cast of millions that call the places we look after home. Rare butterflies, barn owls, wild ponies, seals, otters, shy water voles, red squirrels, red warblers, native deer and so many more. They're all thriving thanks to the love and care of our members, volunteers and rangers.
