CHOOSE A FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY
Fundraising is an important part of protecting and preserving nature reserves. It helps provide the resources needed to maintain the area, which is essential for wildlife conservation, and for public enjoyment. Here are a few ideas of fundraising activities for nature lovers.
- Go Birdwatching: Set yourself a bird watching challenge. Are you ready for your best birding year ever? From the local birds tucking into your garden feeders, to the wild birds at our reserve — there are no restrictions on where you go birdwatching. It’s all about enjoying new birds and learning more about them. Can you tick off 50 feathered friends? Or even 200? Set yourself a target per bird.
- Go Hiking: You can’t beat the satisfaction of reaching the end of a good challenging uphill walk. Pick your peak or go for a more obvious contender. In Sweden, you can try the Kungsleden, the Jämtland Triangle, the St Olavsleden, or the Skuleskogen. The famous hiking routes give you the chance to see some of Sweden’s most beautiful landscapes, whilst also taking on some of its most challenging hikes.
- Go Wild Camping: What better way to raise money then by enjoying the great outdoors? For those who enjoy a night out in the open without their home comforts, this could be one for you! Challenge yourself to nestle on a beach, meadow or woodland under the stars. What critters will you meet? What wildlife will you hear? Set yourself a target per night or per destination.
- Host A Wildlife Quiz: Put your nature-loving family and friends to the test with a quiz. Play audio clips to get people guessing the birdsong or mating noises. Test their animal and tree leaf ID skills and natural history knowledge. Make it a virtual event for an even bigger turnout. Charge a small fee to enter and split the income 50/50 to the winner and your cause.
- Create a Nature Art Auction: Contact your local art stores or favourite nature-loving artists and ask if they would donate a piece of nature-inspired art to a charity auction. Or, host a nature photography auction and ask local photographers to contribute some of their best work. Can you gather local artists and craftsmen? Or even contirbute some of your own work? Set a target per contribution.
SET UP YOUR ONLINE FUNDRAISER
Maybe you love running marathons, wild swimathons, or taking part in sport events? Once you’ve decided on your challenge, set a fundraising target, and decide how to best collect donations. You can build a fundraising page using Just Giving, or perhaps Facebook Fundraising, and then share away with your family and friends!
