There Are Many Ways You Can Help
BORG work to promote and assist owl and raptor conservation throughout Buckinghamshire.
We could not continue without the generous support of the public and businesses.
Become a Friend
Over the past few decades wild Barn Owls, together with other native owl and raptor species, have become increasingly rare, but with your help we can work to stop this decline. By becoming a Friend of BORG you will be helping us to continue providing the practical conservation measures, education and research required to ensure that these charismatic birds thrive in the wild.
Friendship costs:
Individual per annum – £30
Individual monthly – £2.50
Corporate per annum – £100
When you become a Friend you are contributing to a partnership with Borg. All our new boxes are made of stokbord and we believe these boxes will last for decades. However without BORG monitoring them and maintaining them regularly, they are prone to being occupied by squirrels and jackdaws etc. This can sadly soon render boxes unusable. We cannot guarantee owls occupying every box but we can guarantee we will do our very best to keep boxes habitable and available. Without Friends of BORG this would not be possible. Thank You for your support.
To become a friend click one of the buttons below and follow the instructions to sign up using our Direct Debit provider, GoCardless. Once completed you should be re-directed to our own registration form which will be forwarded to our ‘Friends Co-ordinator’.
Alternatively, if you do not wish to sign up via our online Direct Debit system, CLICK HERE to contact us for other payment methods, including cheques and direct bank transfers.
Sponsor a Box
Many traditional owl and raptor nest sites have been lost due to loss of habitat, but you can help us provide additional or alternative nest sites throughout Buckinghamshire. Whether you are a landowner with old barns, trees and woodland, a business in the centre of town or an individual living in a block of flats, you can help by sponsoring a nest box.
There are a variety of boxes to choose from, and locations throughout Buckinghamshire, so we’re sure there will be something appropriate for you. Don’t leave our feathered friends out in the rain.
Donate Money
BORG volunteers work throughout Buckinghamshire promoting the conservation of barn owls and other raptor species, but we have no permanent funding and rely on donations from the public and local businesses – every penny donated helps us to continue our work.
You can help us by making a donation. This can be a one-off payment or regularly (monthly / annual) as a “Friend of BORG” if you wish.
Become a Volunteer
BORG is run by volunteers who devote spare time to managing owl and raptor conservation, and we are often looking for new volunteers to join us. There are many ways you can help, such as nest box building, box monitoring and liaison with landowners, publicity & fundraising and much much more – whatever your skills there’s sure to be a way you can put them to use and help our cause.
