This category is for those with landholdings of under 50 acres - smallholders or similar - and those with over 50 acres who do not wish to become full voting members yet.
The biodiversity and climate crises are here and now, but you can play a part in the solution by investing in a step-change for nature through WDW’s membership network, whether you steward 1 acre or 2,000.
Together, we can create profoundly positive mutual benefits as landowners, farmers and land-managers, working together to protect West Dorset from the effects of flooding, drought and pollution.
