Irish wildlife

Adopting Irish wildlife through Reforest Nation is a symbolic gesture that directly supports the restoration of native habitats. Each adoption includes the planting of five certified native Irish trees and contributes to the care and rehabilitation of animals at the Irish Wildlife Hospital.

You can adopt a variety of native Irish species, including the Irish Hare, Red Fox, Pine Marten, Red Squirrel, Hedgehog, Robin, Barn Owl, Red Deer, and Badger. All species are part of the same seasonal adoption initiative and offer equal benefits to supporters.

Your adoption funds the planting of native Irish trees that create rich, diverse ecosystems—providing food, shelter, and safe habitats for native species. A portion of proceeds also supports the Irish Wildlife Hospital, which cares for sick and injured wild animals across Ireland.

Each adoption package includes:

• A personalised zero-carbon digital certificate

• Exclusive digitised artwork by Antoinette Monet

• An invitation to a tree planting event

• A summer forest visit to see your impact firsthand

Each adoption results in five or ten native Irish trees being planted in a carefully selected reforestation site, helping to restore and protect natural wildlife habitats.

Yes! Wildlife adoptions make meaningful, eco-friendly gifts. You can personalise the certificate with the recipient’s name, and they will receive all the same benefits included in the package.

This is a symbolic adoption. You won’t be caring for an individual animal, but your contribution helps protect entire populations of that species by restoring their habitats and supporting animal rehabilitation efforts.

Each seasonal adoption is limited to just 100 supporters, making your contribution part of an exclusive, high-impact initiative.

You’ll be invited to a dedicated tree planting day and a summer forest visit at one of our native reforestation sites in Ireland. Details will be sent via email in our newsletter, make sure to sign up so you dont miss out!

Reforest Nation focuses on biodiversity-led reforestation using certified native Irish trees, and directly links this work to wildlife conservation. Your adoption supports both habitat creation and animal care—making a real, long-term difference to Ireland’s natural world.
