Why not show someone you really care and help local wildlife at the same time? Norfolk Wildlife Trust launches a new range of sponsorship gifts for any occasion that will care for some of Norfolk’s most beloved species and their threatened habitats.

Each Wildlife Gift costs just £20 and can be bought as a gift or for yourself. Sponsors receive an attractive Wildlife Gift Box containing a personalised certificate, a beautifully illustrated factsheet and information about the work of Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Choose from five iconic species:

Swallowtail butterfly – found only in Norfolk, swallowtails can be seen at Hickling and Ranworth Broads. Show your support by sponsoring a swallowtail butterfly and helping to safeguard unique wetland habitats.

Otter – once almost lost from the waterways of Norfolk, otters are now often spotted on our wetland nature reserves. Our wetland management in the Broads directly helps otters prosper.

Barn Owl – a barn owl in flight is spectacular to see, but the habitats they depend on are threatened. This gift helps NWT restore essential meadow and grassland hunting grounds for barn owls.

Dartmoor Pony – NWT’s pony herd provides conservation grazing on many fen and heathland sites, creating habitats for rare species such as nightjar, small red damselfly and marsh gentian.

Shetland Sheep – NWT’s ‘Flying Flock’ graze many heathland and grassland sites providing essential habitat for snipe, silver-studded blue butterflies, and green-winged orchid among other species.

Fundraising Manager Jono Leadley said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to support NWT’s conservation work and give a unique gift at the same time! The packs have been designed to highlight the conservation work the Trust does in the county and how important this is for enhancing the populations of some of Norfolk’s most charismatic and threatened wildlife.”
