Animal Rights & Animal Rescue
Factory Farming A viva! site providing information about factory farming.
Adopt a 'Street Tree' Presumably this will appeal most to Trafford residents, but I liked the idea. From £70, you will receive a street tree of your choice, an adoption certificate and location map, and a commemorative tag with your name on it! I believe other county councils do this too, but this was the first I found. Try a web search and see if you can adopt a street tree in your area.
Adopt a Barn Owl Adopt a Devonshire barn owl. You can't visit these owls, but receive information and updates on your owl, as well an adoption certificate, photo, poster, badge, window sticker etc.. (£30)
Adopt a Bat Adopt one of the resident bats at the Cornwall Bat Hospital, and help sick and injured bats. You'll be sent an adoption certificate and a welcome pack, and will receive an update every six months. (£15)
Adopt a Cairngorm Reindeer Adopt a cairngorm reindeer.
Adopt a Dorset Red Squirrel Support Dorset Wildlife trust by adopting one of the 200 red squirrels on Brownsea Island Nature Reserve. You will receive an adoption certificate and a photo of your squirrel, The book 'Squirrel Nutkin' by Beatrix Potter, an information sheet, a badge/tie pin, a colouring sheet, and if you pay by direct debit, a fluffy squirrel toy. (£15)
Adopt a Tree For £125 you will be helping to create a new woodland and habitat for threatened plants and animals, and will receive: A special 'Adopters' pack, an OS map of The National Forest area, annual updates on the development of your woodland, including information on sightings of animals, insects and plants seen there, a personalised certificate, an invitation to a special tree-planting event in the Forest and The National Forest magazine 'Forest Scene'.

Adopt an Owl Adopt one of over 50 species of owl (including endangered owls) from the World Owl Trust at Muncaster Castle in Cumbria.
