Adopt a Species

Give a gift to nature – and a loved one! Your generous support will help us protect and preserve our local wildlife.

Nature needs our help, now more than ever. Many of our precious species are under serious threat, as numbers continue to decline through habitat loss and climate change. The money raised through our Adopt a Species scheme helps us continue our vital conservation work, protecting the wildlife and wild places of Essex.

Adoption makes a lovely gift, or you can choose to adopt a one of the below species for yourself.

Adopt a Species Gift Box - £32.00

Our gorgeous gift boxes contain a personalised certificate, welcome letter and species fact sheet, as well as a delightful Essex Wildlife Trust Eco-Friendly plantable pen. The pen comes with plantable seed paper – so you can plant both card and pen after use!

The gift box also includes a cuddly Keycraft Living Nature soft toy. They are made using recycled plastic from used bottles and food containers, that might otherwise end up in landfill or our oceans.
