Protect the wild - one species at a time
When you adopt a species with Lancashire Wildlife Trust, you're doing something truly special. Your support helps us protect and restore the habitats that red squirrels and hedgehogs urgently need to survive—across the woodlands, hedgerows and green spaces of Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.
Both species face increasing pressure from habitat loss, climate change and other threats. With your help, we can take action before it’s too late.
Whether you choose a digital or physical pack, your adoption is a meaningful way to support local wildlife and play your part in reversing nature’s decline. It’s also a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares about the future of our wild neighbours.
Together, we can give wildlife the space and protection it needs to thrive.
