Please remember SWT in your will
With your help we can protect Scotland's wildlife. Without you, we can do nothing.
Imagine Scotland's future without wildlife, without the sight of an otter slipping into cool water, or the smell of summer orchids, or the rustle of an evening breeze in an ancient woodland.
Imagine if the children of the future were robbed of these experiences, if Scotland's wildlife was allowed to disintegrate and disappear.
It doesn't bear thinking of. But how can you help?
You can help Scotland's beautiful wildlife by remembering SWT in your will.
We will use your legacy to
- fight the most urgent battles;
- save the most endangered habitats;
- inspire and enthuse children and adults to get involved, and to enjoy and contribute to our wonderful heritage.
Scotland's wildlife is a gift that we should treasure for future generations.
Make Scotland's wildlife your legacy for the future.
What can I do?
Please consider leaving a legacy to the Scottish Wildlife Trust to ensure that our natural heritage is protected and appreciated. Every gift, no matter how large or small, will make a difference to Scotland's wildlife. The different types of legacy gifts are explained here.
"As you get older your priorities change and it's the important things that matter. I believe our natural environment is one of those and I know that thanks to the SWT, my passion for wildlife will continue even when I'm not around. That's why I'm leaving a gift to SWT in my Will. It's my way of planning for the future."
Dr Ray Taylor is retired and volunteers for SWT.
If you need to make a will, your first step is to talk to a solicitor. You will receive sound professional advice and peace of mind that your wishes will be achieved. You may find it helpful in choosing a solicitor to visit The Law Society or The Law Society of Scotland.
Changing your Will to support the Scottish Wildlife Trust
If you already have a Will, and would now like to include a gift to the Scottish Wildlife Trust, this can be done using a Codicil . A Codicil need not change the terms of your current Will, it can simply add a new instruction. Please do consult with your solicitor or advisor before completing the form.
To help us plan ahead and thank you properly, please do let us know if you have left a gift to the Scottish Wildlife Trust in your Will.
Thank you for thinking of the Scottish Wildlife Trust in this special way.
