The UK’s biggest nature challenge?

30 Days Wild is The Wildlife Trusts’ annual nature challenge. It has become hugely popular and can involve millions of people. It’s simple enough to take part: just do one ‘wild’ thing each day in June.

The Wildlife Trusts call these Random Acts of Wildness (well, you have to I suppose), whether it be litter-picking (a massive challenge just now), watching birds (easy), finding six or 10 butterfly species, identifying trees, or hoverflies – whatever takes your fancy.

The Wildlife Trusts offer a free postal or digital pack including an activity passport (can you get in a pub with that?) and a wall chart to record your efforts. The idea is to raise awareness while making you feel happier and healthier, which it certainly will. Rob Hume
