Make Your Love for Wildlife Last Forever

When you sit down to write your will and reflect on everyone and everything dearest to you over the years, is wildlife on your list?

 

If you’ve ever enjoyed a walk in the wilderness, listening to birds or seeing our beautiful wildlife, please consider honouring them by leaving a gift to Cobequid Wildlife in your will. No matter the size, your bequest makes a real difference.
