Wildlife Adoptions – A Unique Gift
Red squirrels and seahorses are in need of help, so this autumn, treat yourself or a loved one to a special wildlife gift with a Dorset Wildlife Trust wildlife adoption.
This time of year, the red squirrel can be seen scurrying around the woodland fl oor collecting nuts for winter and jumping between trees on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour. The popular red squirrel, a native species, has been in decline for many years, but Brownsea Island, owned by the National Trust, is proud to give a home to a population of 200 of these enchanting creatures. The island is one of the few safe havens for the reds in the South West. They can be seen by visitors for most of the year, but are particularly active during the autumn as they prepare for winter. It’s the perfect time of year to make a daytrip to the beautiful nature reserve, managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) on Brownsea Island. By adopting a red squirrel for just £20, DWT can help ensure that the habitat – which is so important for their survival on the island – is maintained and managed for many years to come.
Meanwhile, on the Dorset coast, lives a less visible but just as unique and enchanting species, the seahorse. The seahorse is the subject of much conservation concern as a result of its declining habitat.
DWT is working to get protection and wise management established for more of Dorset’s seas through the creation of Marine Protected Areas in our waters. We also need to continue to educate, inspire and engage people about the value of Dorset’s fabulous marine environment. This is all done through
DORSET WILDLIFE TRUST

our marine conservation work, which is part of the Marine Conservation Fund. Adopting a seahorse will allow us to continue this work.
Adopting either a seahorse or a red squirrel this autumn for £20 each, will not only make a unique and wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, but will contribute to conservation work in Dorset. Each pack comes with an adoption certifi cate, soft toy, pin badge and information about the species. Buy online at
