Are you ready to go wild?

June is a perfect month to get out and about. The days grow longer and the sun warmer. Flowers are in full bloom. Fledglings leave their nests. It’s easy to connect with nature at this time of year, if you simply take a little time to do so. This is why the Wildlife Trust are challenging everyone to go 30 Days Wild this June.

Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to spend the whole month living in a tent in the middle of a field – unless, of course, that’s what you want to do! All you need to do to fulfill the challenge are 30 simple, fun and exciting Random Acts of Wildness.

So, what could you do? The possibilities are endless. You could:

hug a tree
stop to smell a flower
splash in a puddle
seek out your local wild areas
look for caterpillars
watch the bees
enjoy the sunset
walk in a wood
have a picnic by a pond
make a bee bath
plant some wildflower seeds
forage for some wild food
hang a bird feeder
walk on a beach
make a hedgehog highway
make a toad home
hang a butterfly feeder
do a 2 minute litter pick
write a poem
take part in a nature survey
go plastic free
pledge to help wildlife
sign a petition

and lots, lots more…

30 Days Wild is a perfect opportunity to connect with nature. Your little Random Acts of Wildness, when placed alongside those of everyone else joining in, could have a great positive impact on your local environment. And don’t forget to share your Random Acts of Wildness on social media using #30DaysWild. By spreading awareness, you can inspire others to act as well.

If you’d like to join in with 30 Days Wild, it’s ‘s not too late to sign up on the Wildlife Trust website. Once you’ve done that there are all sorts of resources that you can download to help you decide what to do, plus a whole website full of ideas.
