Kingfisher Appeal
Every £1 Donated Raises £20!
We are asking for your support towards our Kingfisher Appeal to raise money to restore neglected habitats along the Itchen Navigation, an important wetland corridor between Southampton and Winchester. Map
Kingfishers Are In Trouble
Kingfishers are one of this country's most iconic birds associated with our rivers. But nationally kingfishers are a cause of concern and are coded as ‘amber' on the national list of ‘Birds of Conservation Concern. The Itchen Navigation has the potential to be a stronghold for these birds, but major efforts are needed to create more potential breeding sites and territories
Making a Difference - Twenty Times!
Our efforts on the Itchen Navigation so far have been made possible by generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the Environment Agency, and others - but only if we raise one twentieth of the costs ourselves.
- A £10 donation will raise £200 which could provide artificial kingfisher nesting holes to improve breeding success
- A £20 donation will raise £400 which could fund emergency repairs along 40m of eroded riverbank, using natural locally-sourced materials to prevent future bank collapse
- A £50 donation will raise £1000 which could significantly enhance 50m of riverbank, creating new areas of habitat to provide shelter for kingfishers, water voles and otters
