Adopt an animal from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust have just launched their new digital adoption packs so you can adopt an animal with them through a digital scheme.

Adopt a beaver through the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

or how about adopting a badger?

You can choose - there's an adopt a hedgehog, adopt a beaver and adopt a badger.  The hard part is surely choosing which animal to adopt. 

Digital adoption packs will include a certificate, a photo of your animal, a guide packed with top tips on your animal and a subscription to the seasonal online wildlife magazine.  Why not sponsor an animal for the nature lover in your life? 

This week they are sending FREE Christmas cards for each digital purchase! They will simply post them out to you after you sign up. The offfer ends 18th November, so don't delay, scurry off to the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust to take out a digital adoption  

Now, they've also got a range of lovely gifts for Christmas (or at any time of the year) and these are available through their online shop.

Add orange to your life on Wednesday 16^th November

Next week is Orangutan Caring Week.  It runs from 13^th to 19^th November in 2022.

The aim is to raise awareness of the challenges orangutans and their rainforest home are facing.   And to help people take part, there is one very easy activity we can all do on #Orange for Orangutan Day ©.  And that is to add orange to your life on the 16^th November!

On the 16^th November, please #GoOrange

The idea is that we all make a big ORANGE SPLASH on the day by finding anything orange to wear to raise awareness and funds for the critically endangered orangutan.

The Orangutan Foundation has an INFORMATION PACK you can download and a POSTER you can put up.

You could also do a cake sale, have an orangutan themed tea party, dress in orange, eat baked beans – and go on social media with the hashtags

This is a great chance to have a bit of fun and raise awareness of the orangutan.
