Give a little joy to wildlife this Christmas

There’s something lovely about finding a gift that feels just right for someone. And when it helps care for the wildlife they love, it becomes even more special. 

From cuddly companions to a whole year of wild adventures, our Christmas gift guide is full of thoughtful ways to treat your loved ones while supporting nature across Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside. 

Wear your love for wildlife

For someone who wears their love of nature on their sleeve, discover our collection of wildlife-inspired clothing and accessories.

From T-shirts and cosy sweatshirts to everyday accessories, explore designs celebrating the wildlife we’re working to protect. Whether you’re choosing a meaningful present or treating yourself to something cosy for winter walks, your purchase helps support local nature.

Explore clothing and accessories

Clothing and accessories are ordered through our Teemill shop and dispatched separately from purchases made through our main online shop.

Adopt a little Christmas companion

For someone who lights up at the sight of a red squirrel or loves spotting hedgehogs in the garden, a wildlife adoption makes a wonderfully personal present.

Our red squirrel, hedgehog, barn owl and bee gift adoption packs bring together a cuddly soft toy, a personalised certificate and information to help your loved one discover more about their chosen species. There are digital options too, for those who would prefer their wildlife gift without the wrapping. 

Whichever species steals their heart, their adoption will help support our work to protect local wildlife and the places it calls home.

A wild year ahead

For the person who has everything

Some people are wonderfully difficult to buy for. If your loved one cares deeply about nature, a donation on their behalf could be a gift that means a great deal.

A parking pass is a impactful way to help them enjoy more visits to Brockholes, Mere Sands Wood and Lunt Meadows. With three, six and twelve-month options, it offers plenty of opportunities to return to a favourite walk and discover something new as the seasons change. 

Their visits will help care for these special places too, with parking income supporting the reserves and the wildlife that lives there.
