Legacies

Please remember DWT in your will

The future is far too important to be left to chance.  That’s why making a will is so vital.

When you write or update your will, once you have made sure that the people you care about are provided for, please consider including a gift to DWT.

Through leaving a bequest - large or small - you can play an important part in ensuring future generations can know and enjoy the natural beauty of Devon and its wildlife.

A legacy of any size will help us to

• Safeguard Devon’s best-loved species and habitats

• Speak out for wildlife and argue for a sustainable approach

• Engage with young people, schools, landowners and communities so that the benefits of wildlife are shared and enjoyed by all

We value every penny which is given to us and will promise to use the money wisely to secure a better future for local wildlife.  What’s more, legacy gifts are exempt from inheritance tax, so the full value of any gift will go straight to wildlife conservation.

Case study - Marsland nature reserve

Our work at Marsland nature reserve was secured through the generosity of Mr Frank Morton.

A resident of Marsland valley since the 1960s, Mr Morton showed a keen interest in the reserve and our ongoing work at this impressive site.

With Mr Morton’s gift, we were able to employ a nature reserves officer and secure the long-term management of Marsland.  DWT also looks after ‘Frank’s Field’, which was his much loved conservation area.
