Wildlife in Ascot

Taking responsibility for protecting and encouraging wildlife in and around Ascot

Wildlife in Ascot is a local charity focused on protecting and enhancing biodiversity in Ascot and the surrounding areas. Led entirely by volunteers, we work closely with the community to create habitats, improve green spaces, and encourage nature-friendly gardening. Through conservation projects, wildlife walks, and educational events, we help people connect with nature and make a positive impact starting in their own gardens.
