Take a walk on the wild side and raise cash
BETWEEN Saturday 22 and Sunday 30 October, the Birmingham and Black County Wildlife Trust are holding their fourth annual walking fundraiser.
The trust has organised a series of expert-led guided walks all over Birmingham and the Black Country as well as a family-friendly orienteering event at Sutton Park to round off the week. Individual and group challenges are also being encouraged, and keen walkers can register to take part to receive sponsorship forms as well as a link to set up a Justgiving page.
Emma Thompson, Head of Fundraising and Communication at Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust said; “We have ambitious goals for nature’s recovery and inspiring meaningful connections to nature, so this fundraiser is a great opportunity for passionate nature lovers to get involved.
“Wild Walk Week is for anyone and everyone and our webpage has lots of ideas on how to get involved from the 3km per day hedgehog challenge to the epic 500-mile group relay challenge! Huge thanks to our sponsors IM Properties and the support from City of Birmingham Orienteering Club for helping us make this challenge our biggest yet.”
