Mission Statement
The Selborne Society is one of the oldest nature conservation organisations in the world. Today, we own and manage Perivale Wood Local Nature Reserve in west London, and alongside managing this precious space for the benefit of biodiversity, nature and people we provide education for local residents and research opportunities for the wider scientific community.
About This Cause
The Selborne Society was founded in 1885 and was originally a national organisation. In 1904 the Ealing branch rented and then bought the plot of land now known as Perivale Wood, making this one of the oldest nature reserves in England. Depsite the decline of the wider Society during the 20th century, the Society continues to flourish in Perivale. Run entirely by volunteers it acts as custodian for Perivale Wood, managing the habitats to protect and increase biodiversity, and offering environmental education sessions to local schools as well as events for families, adults and children in the local community. The Society also promotes the use of the reserve for scientific research and biological recording.
