Thank you for Adopting a Scilly Species

We will send your Adoption Pack in the post via Royal Mail. You should receive it within 7-10 working days (please bear with us - island life can make transport to and from the islands unpredictable at times). You will also receive your Adoption Newsletter every couple of months (or the recipient if you are gifting the adoption - please make sure we have their email address). You'll receive your first one soon.

We all know how special the Isles of Scilly are. Whether you live or work here or visit our islands on holiday, you’ll know how the beautiful landscapes and diverse wildlife get under your skin. We are determined to keep our islands special for everyone and for wildlife, encouraging species to thrive and protecting our wild habitats. That's why we are so grateful for your support.

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust works tirelessly to look after around half the islands, for people and wildlife. We manage 700ha of the islands for nature (including the coastlines, heath and moorlands and wetlands). We clear 85km of paths annually so that people can access spectacular wild places. We monitor and carry out conservation for iconic species, from grey seals to seabirds, bats to rare plants. This year, we have worked with 250 local school age children. Our ambition for the archipelago and its wildlife is limitless.
