Partnering for Island Conservation: A New Way for Businesses to Make a Real Impact
At La Société Guernesiaise, we’ve spent more than a hundred years studying, protecting and celebrating the natural heritage of Guernsey. From Archaeology and Botany to Marine Biology, Astronomy, Bats, Birds, Family History, Historic Buildings and beyond, our specialists have been at the heart of the island’s scientific and educational landscape.
Now we’re opening that expertise up to the business community with a brand‑new Corporate Partnership Programme. It’s designed to give companies a hands‑on, meaningful way to support island conservation while providing their staff with unforgettable outdoor learning experiences.

Why a Corporate Partnership?
Many organisations today are looking for tangible CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) projects that go beyond a cheque‑box exercise. They want something that:
- Delivers measurable environmental benefit – direct involvement in habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring and species protection.
- Engages employees – team‑building outings that combine adventure with learning.
- Boosts brand visibility – recognition on our website, newsletters and social channels.
Our new programme checks all those boxes, and it does so in a way that fits each company’s interests and schedule.
What Partners Get
Each corporate partner receives a four‑event package per year that we tailor to your team’s goals. Here’s what’s included:
Corporate Partners Receive:
- Four CSR events each year, planned around a company’s interests and capacity
- Social media and membership recognition for each event
- Access to La Société publications and resources
- Logo placement on website and selected partnership materials,including the newsletter
CSR Activities Include:
- Wildlife Surveys (including Rockpooling and Dolphin Watching)
- Bespoke wildlife tours (including meeting the Conservation Herd)
- Lunch and learn sessions with conservation experts
“Many businesses are looking for practical ways to make a positive impact,” says Becky Ogier, Education and Conservation Lead at La Société Guernesiaise. “This programme gives them the opportunity to contribute directly to local conservation while offering valuable, educational experiences for their teams.”
An annual membership of £2,000 covers the entire four‑event package and directly funds our Education and Conservation Team. That contribution also helps us purchase essential tools, develop new educational resources, and plan long‑term projects with confidence.
