Holiday/Birthday Gift Ideas
Looking for a wildlife-related gift
for the outdoors/wildlife enthusiast on your holiday or birthday list?
The following wildlife related experiences, publications and suggestions
are available for the conservationist in your life!
- A 2 year subscription to Massachusetts Wildlife
magazine ($10) delivers eight full color issues of the Commonwealth's
best and only all-wildlife publication.
- For the budding conservationist try a copy of the recently revised
"Critters of Massachusetts" book ($5).
"Critters" is a perfect gift for the curious youngster or the beginning
adult naturalist with an interest in backyard wildlife and beyond.
- The Massachusetts Wildlife Viewing Guide
($8.95) listing 67 sites across the state where a variety of wildlife
can be seen is a perfect gift for the outdoor explorer or a visitor
to the state.
- Hunting/Fishing licenses and stamps will be appreciated by
the sportsman or woman in your life. Licenses will be available for
sale both on-line
and over the counter in mid-December.
- A wonderful outdoor experience for teens aged 13-17 is the Junior
Conservation Camp, a two week session overnight camp packed
with outdoor skills learning from shooting and fishing, to canoeing
and camping, field trips with biologists and more! Camp is located in
Chesterfield and will run August 7-19, 2005.
- For women 18 years and above, enroll them in one of the Becoming
an Outdoorswoman (BOW) workshops scheduled for 2005. 2005 will
be the 10th Anniversary of BOW in Massachusetts and the weekend in Lenox
is already scheduled for June 10-12, 2005. Other, day-long workshops
focusing on winter skills, wildlife tracking, fishing, hunting, and
survival are planned. All programs are designed for outdoor novices.
Gift certificates are available.
- For the person who has everything, make a donation in his or her name
supporting work on rare and endangered species to the Natural
Heritage and Endangered Species Fund. Wildlife habitat protection
can also be supported by donating to the Wildlands
Fund a fund solely dedicated to acquiring important wildlife
habitat that will also be open to all kinds of wildlife related recreation.
