As the leaves fall from the trees and nights start to get frosty, one thing is clear: winter is coming, and with it the holiday season. It’s time to find the snowshoes, dust off the winter coats, and hunt for the perfect gifts for those you love.

Finding unique and thoughtful gifts can be difficult, but Watersheds Canada has you covered with symbolic adoptions.  By purchasing an adoption, you not only get a beautiful piece of art, but you also directly support programs that will help your species of choice and the freshwater ecosystems that they call home. This year, with four new symbolic adoptions available – Yellow Perch, Wood Duck pair, Red Fox family, and Wild Iris – there are plenty of species from which to find the perfect one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can help that angler in your life catch bigger and more fish by symbolically adopting a species like Yellow Perch or Smallmouth Bass. Give appreciation to loving parents through adopting a Red Fox family or Mallard family. The gardener or plant enthusiast in your life will appreciate the gift of a Native Wildflower Bouquet or Great Camas symbolic adoption. There is a species for every person on your holiday list!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Symbolic adoptions start at $30 and all monies raised support on-the-ground freshwater stewardship work! Tax receipts are available on eligible purchases of $25+. Each symbolic adoption includes a 5″x7″ postcard featuring a different work of art done by a Canadian artist. Gifts also include a beautiful blank honour card for you to personalize and personally give as a gift to your friend, loved one, or co-worker (or yourself!).
