At Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, we know the power that being in nature can bring. During this special festive season we are inviting our community to share gifts that support the future of nature. Together, we can ensure local wildlife thrives for generations to come.
Give the Gift of Nature This Christmas: An Invitation to Connect
1. Give Something That Lasts: Donate Instead of a Card
This year, why not share something more meaningful than a paper card?
Instead of sending an envelope and card that may soon be recycled, your donation will go directly towards vital habitat restoration and conservation projects across Wiltshire. It’s a gift that helps restore vital chalk meadows and wetlands, protects rare species, and ensures our woodlands remain beautiful and accessible.

3. Step into Stillness - Visit a Nature Reserve
Amid the festive rush, nature offers us a chance to pause and reconnect.
We encourage you to take time to visit one of our beautiful nature reserves this season. Wrap up warm and enjoy a peaceful winter walk. Breathe deeply, listen closely, and feel the calm that only nature can bring.

4. A Promise for Nature - Your #OneThingForNature in 2026
As the new year approaches, let’s start 2026 with a promise: to do one small thing for nature.
Every act of kindness for nature matters. Whether you decide to plant native wildflowers in your garden for pollinators, feed the birds, join a volunteer day, or make a small change to be more energy efficient at home, your action helps restore habitats and protect our shared home.
Together, our small acts create big change. What will your #OneThingForNature be?

5. Take a Mindful Moment
Amid the noise of the season, take a moment to be mindful. Listen to the wind through the trees, watch a robin on a frosty branch, and feel the quiet pulse of life around you.
The greatest gift nature gives is peace. When we slow down and connect, we remember why protecting these reserves matters so much.
When we protect nature, we protect the balance, beauty, and wellbeing of all life - including our own.
