Symbolic gift ideas
Good things happen when you make a symbolic gift
Dedicate a wildlife-themed donation to help conserve Canada’s wetlands! You will have the option to send an eCard or download a printable certificate to present to your recipient. You’ll also get a receipt to help you save at tax time.
Give a Duck
Your gift donation of just $20 gives one duck the habitat it needs to thrive and maintains that habitat for decades to come. Or Give a Flock to make an even bigger difference! The habitat you help save with your donation provides a better future for us all.
Give a Home for Wild Turtles
A turtle’s shell is a sturdy house, but its home is a wetland! Once a common sight in our favourite lakes, all of Canada’s wild turtle species are now at risk in at least some part of their ranges. Starting at just $50, give the gift that helps conserve and restore the habitat they need—and have lost.
Give a Damselfly
Nearly one-eighth of the world’s damselfly and dragonfly species are at risk of extinction, and habitat loss is the leading cause. Just as these species transform throughout their lives, so can Canada’s landscapes. Your gift donation of any amount translates to real, on-the-ground habitat conservation.
Give in Celebration
A gift donation in celebration is a fun and unique way to honour one of life’s important milestones, whether it’s a birthday, wedding, anniversary or graduation.
