Many of us have treasured memories of being on the shore and water with our families. Listening to the haunting call of the Common Loon, looking for fireflies, and waiting to catch the next fish are some of the best parts of spending time at the lake. You can ensure these memories can be made for the next generation with a thoughtful Father’s Day gift.

Thanks to the talents of many Canadian nature artists, you can give the gift of future wildlife viewing and fishing memories at the lake with symbolic adoptions! The symbolic adoptions will have lasting impacts for generations of humans and wildlife to come, and provide you with a meaningful gift to give to your Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, or other impactful person in your life.

With each symbolic adoption, you will receive a beautiful 5”x7” postcard featuring information about the adoption as well as a blank honour card for you to personalize and give as a gift.

You can give many different plant-related symbolic adoptions, including:

• Adopt a Brook Trout
• Adopt a Common Loon
• Make a Home for Fish (Walleye)
• Adopt a Tree (Silver Maple)
• Adopt a Turtle

All donations raised go directly back into Watersheds Canada’s habitat and shoreline restoration projects, including the Natural Edge Program and Fish Habitat Program.
