Known to many as Ratty in Wind and the Willows, over recent years the water vole has undergone a catastrophic decline throughout the UK. This harmless vegetarian has suffered losses of up to 95% in some areas and without our help they will be lost altogether. The water vole was once abundant all over County Durham's watercourses but now due to habitat loss and predation by the non-native American mink there are only a few populations left.
Durham Wildlife Trust is now offering the chance for you to do your bit towards ensuring their continued survival. Adopt a water vole now and your money will be put towards the important water vole work Durham Wildlife Trust is currently carrying out, including working with landowners to improve habitat and encourage water voles to expand and re-colonise areas.
At just £10 this is the perfect present for all manner of occasions and the recipient will get a certificate and fact sheet.
