Registered Charity No: 299835 (England & Wales).

The Barn Owl Trust is a small national charity tucked away in South Devon that has been doing big things to conserve and protect not only the Barn Owl, but also the wider conservation and environmental issues that surround this beautiful bird. Anyone who has ever watched a Barn Owl hunting at dusk has surely been touched by the experience, but in recent years numbers of these beautiful birds have been declining due to environmental and man-made pressures.

Today our small but dedicated team of staff and volunteers believe that reversing the Barn Owls decline can be achieved, from practicing practical conservation work such as land management and erection of nestboxes, to increasing environmental awareness through talks and courses for professionals and the public. This includes turning 26 acres of intensively managed land, purchased with our first major legacy, into a wildlife prolific nature reserve. We have carried out ground-breaking research into causes of decline (such as major-road mortality and barn conversions) and made recommendations for policy changes.

Founded in 1988, the Barn Owl Trust has established an excellent reputation amongst conservation organisations. We rely on donations and legacies to fund our work and your legacy to the Barn Owl Trust will make a huge difference. It will enable us to continue our conservation and environmental work; educating the next generation, rescuing and rehabilitating injured owls, encouraging habitat creation, providing high-quality information and protecting the Barn Owl for the future.
