Give the "Gift of Nature" and give the gift of abundance. http://weblink.donor...

Give the "Gift of Nature" and give the gift of endurance. When winter settles in and food grows scarce, lichen becomes essential emergency sustenance for species like the White-tailed Deer. http://weblink.donor...

Give the "Gift of Nature" and give the gift of balance. The solitary, gentle Potter Wasp keeps ecosystems (and farms) healthy by hunting agricultural pests. But this helpful wasp depends on late-season bloomers like Goldenrod for the nectar that fuels its work.

The Monarch’s epic, multi-generation journey to Mexico and back is only possible because of its essential partner, Milkweed. As Milkweed helps Monarchs thrive, Monarchs return the favour by helping the plant produce hundreds of silky seeds. http://weblink.donor...

Give the "Gift of Nature" and give the gift of connection. The delicate Canada Anemone brightens late-spring meadows, streambanks and lakeshores, and it thrives only through its pollinating partners, like the hardworking Carpenter Bee. Send your gift by visiting http://weblink.donor...

Give the perfect gift to show your loved ones that you care about them & want the best for their future. Donate $25 or more & get an eCertificate to send to the person you're honouring with your gift! Visit http://weblink.donor... to learn more!
