Saving nature one cake at a time

Now that Easter is almost here it really is time to celebrate the beauty of nature reborn after the winter wonderland is over - and what better way to do this than in edible form?

This April why not unleash your inner star baker and do your bit for nature by making something delicious for friends, family or colleagues. We’re launching a new campaign to help raise money to protect wildlife and wild places: Bake for Nature

Taking part in Bake for Nature is really easy. Just choose a date on or around 28 April, invite friends, colleagues and family and get inspired by our natural world. We’ve already had great fun creating meringue fungi, pastry snails and of course butterfly cakes!

We’ve put together a free fundraising pack which includes all you need to create a fundraising festival of nature inspired edibles: bake-themed bunting, a sugar shaker template, price tags, stickers, cake toppers, a fun game, a nest box donation tin plus plenty of ideas and inspiration. Go to rspb.org.uk/bakefornature to register for your free fundraising pack today.

All the money you raise will be used to continue our conservation work in the south east. So whether you’re planning an event with your community group, at work or at home, every pound you raise in your own Bake for Nature will help our work to give nature a home, from your friendly garden robin to the rarest hen harrier, and all that crawls, flies and jumps in between.

We’d love you to post your baking triumphs and disasters on Twitter and Facebook using #bakefornature
