Members

Welcome to the members' part of the website

You help us protect some incredible places across our three counties. We want to share some of the sights and experiences that, without your support, probably wouldn't exist!

Exclusive events

As a thank you for your support of BBOWT, we’d like to invite you to our new members' walk at the Nature Discovery Centre on 24 March. Join us to celebrate spring and observe the changes in nature triggered by lengthening days and warmer temperatures. Birds will have begun to sing and breed, buds will be opening, and early butterflies and other insects will be on the wing. Click below to book your free place!
