The Little Green Bird Conservation Trust (CC63205) is a registered charity founded by Jemma and Sam. We began with a bold goal: to restore native habitats by purchasing and replanting land, creating predator-proof sanctuaries where birds can thrive. Today, our idea goes further—into the health of birds across the country. Through accessible, community-powered testing projects, we help bird owners test for key diseases and water quality issues. These low-cost tests support proactive flock care and contribute to a national picture of bird health.Whether you're a backyard keeper, a rehabber, or simply a bird lover, you’re part of the solution.
