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.
