Wishing Tree

My Wish for Nature is...

Close your eyes and remember one special moment you have spent in nature. How did you feel?

If you could make one wish that would protect more of BC’s nature and wildlife, what would your wish be?

Your wish will make an immediate difference:

For each wish you make, donors will give $10 to help create new parks and protected areas in BC for you to enjoy forever
Your wish joins with other wishes to show that British Columbians support protecting 25% of BC by 2025

Your wish is magic. You will be filled with a sense of pride, awe and inspiration as the power of wishing together creates magical results for BC’s nature.

You can multiply your magic by sharing it with friends, families and others.

Every person you inspire to make a wish is another $10 you have helped contribute, and more goodwill for BC’s nature.
