Help our Harvest Mice; Sponsor an Ealing mouse for £10
Donation protected
Our Ealing Wildlife Group Harvest Mouse reintroduction project has now run out of funds for ongoing running costs and needs your help. Can you sponsor a mouse for just £10?
We've been running (frugally) for three seasons now as part of our 'Rewilding Ealing' initiative. We've received wonderful support from our followers' donations, our project partners at Ealing Council and Friends of Horsenden, our volunteer 'mousewives' and single 'mousehusband' who do the 'mousekeeping' (I know!), or resident carpenter Nick who made a beautiful display house. Most recently we received a round of funding from the Mayor's Rewild London Fund awarded to the project in conjunction with the Selborne Society at our latest reintroduction site, Perivale Wood. That funding has improved habitats at the reserve for Harvest Mice and other wildlife and equipped us with a wonderful new eco lab breeding facility at Horsenden Farm. But our day to day running costs for housing/cages, equipment, bedding, high quality food to keep producing large numbers of vigorous, healthy mice are a significant expense and that pot has now dried up.
So just like when we launched and kickstarted the project, we're asking again for our followers to sponsor another Ealing mouse for just £10 to keep the project running for the next couple of years ahead. You can sponsor as many mice as you like, perhaps one for each member of your family? And then come along on any of our release events to release your very own mouse.
