Adopt a species
NEW: Adopt a bee 🐝
Bees play a vital role in supporting our wildflowers, gardens and food crops, but many species are facing increasing pressures from habitat loss and changing environments. By adopting a bee, you’ll help support pollinator-friendly habitats across Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside while helping these incredible insects continue to thrive.

From bees buzzing through wildflower meadows to red squirrels leaping through woodland canopies, our wildlife is part of what makes Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside so special.
By adopting a species with Lancashire Wildlife Trust, you’re helping care for the habitats that red squirrels, hedgehogs, barn owls and pollinators rely on to thrive.
