ARC has been selected as one of three charities competing for public votes in five Tesco stores in the Ferndown area of Dorset. Following the heath fire at Ferndown Common in 2018, ARC applied to the Tesco Bags of Help scheme for funding to manage the site to reduce the likelihood of future fires, benefitting amphibians, reptiles, and many other species that live on and use the heath.
You can help ARC to win the top prize of £2,000 by shopping at any of the five Tesco stores below, placing blue tokens in the box for ARC, and encouraging others to vote for ARC.
Tesco Superstore, Ferndown: BH22 9TH ~ Tesco Express, Butlers Lane, Poulner: BH24 1UB Tesco Express, Glenmoor Road: BH22 8QE ~ Tesco Express, West Moors: BH22 0JB and Tesco Express, Verwood: BH31 7AQ
Available from New Years Day until the 31 March 2020.

We are back in action in Scotland! ARC has received £15,000 from the RS Macdonald Trust for conservation and education work in Scotland. The project will focus initially on adders, great crested newts and natterjack toads. These three species have particular animal welfare issues that are a shared concern with the RS Macdonald Trust.
