Adopt-A-Marten and Help Raise Awareness!

Your donation can help us educate others.



Encouraging the public to take action against the plight of the marten population is critical in improving the status of this endangered species. You can contribute to the educating of others by symbolically adopting a marten of your own.

With your donation to the Heritage Foundation for Terra Nova National Park, you will help us raise much needed funds to increase awareness of the marten. Proceeds from marten adoptions will be used to air video and radio ads, and fund information sessions with the public on marten.

Adopting a marten will cost $1.00 per student in the case of a class adoption, $25.00 for an individual adoption, and $50.00 for a business/corporate adoption. "Marten Guardians" for 2002-2003 will have their names permanently displayed at Terra Nova National Park in recognition of their contribution to marten education and the recovery of the species. You will also receive an adoption package including a personalized adoption certificate!

Fill out the information below! Help us help the marten! The Heritage Foundation for Terra Nova National Park will be in contact with you right away! Or, print of the adoption form and mail it along with a cheque or money order for the appropriate amount to the marten educator at the address given.

A receipt will be provided for tax purposes.
