Following the success of its Christmas cards and gifts range in 2011, a local
wildlife charity is preparing for a bumper festive season with a new range of
designs.
Devon Wildlife Trust has been selling Christmas cards and gifts for a number of
years and in 2011 the scheme raised more than £6,000 for its vital work for wildlife
across the county.
This year it has added a number of new lines, each of which will melt even the
coldest heart this Christmas. Red squirrels, foxes, deer and woodpeckers are amongst
the stunning images featured on The Trust's Christmas cards. A 2013 calendar packed
with beautiful British animals is also available. Orders can be made on-line, by
phone or by post.
Devon Wildlife Trust is also urging people to think of treating the wildlife-lovers
in their life with a very special Christmas gift. Adopting a species makes an
unusual present. Choices include bee, hedgehog, bat, otter, dormouse and dolphin -
with the recipient receiving a cute soft toy, activity book, fact sheet and much
more.
Also available is Devon Wildlife Trust gift membership. As well as providing the
opportunity for countless free days out in some of Devon's most stunning landscapes,
family gift membership also includes a free illustrated book, The Seashore
Detective's Handbook - the perfect accessory for rockpooling adventures in 2013.
Phoebe Grubb, DWT's Fundraising Officer said: 'With Christmas now looming and the
weather turning cold we have started to promote our latest range of cards and gifts.
Our cards are printed on sustainably sourced card and really show off some of
Devon's best-loved animals. The gifts make lovely presents and are a great way to
help wildlife on your doorstep while also sending your Christmas wishes to loved
ones."
All the profits from the sales of Devon Wildlife Trust's cards and gifts go directly
to support its work for the county's wildlife.
People who wish to purchase cards should visit www.devonwildlifetrust.org or call
Devon Wildlife Trust on 01392 279244. The cards are also available through the Cards
for Good Causes outlets across the county and from The Trust's Cricklepit Mill
headquarters in Exeter.
