The UK’s biggest and most popular nature challenge is back. Last year, a record 650,000 people took part in The Wildlife Trust’s annual event, which sees participants across the UK sign up to do a ‘random act of wildness’ every day for 30 days in June

From listening to birdsong, taking wildlife photographs and planting seeds, to litterpicking, puddle-splashing and feeling the sand between your toes – 30 Days Wild is proven to boost health, happiness and sense of connection to nature.

Marianne Lotter-Jones, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust’s Wilder campaigns and events officer, says: “Here at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, we love taking part in 30 Days Wild. It’s a wonderful time of year for all the Wildlife Trusts to get together and it’s an amazing opportunity for us to see what local people are doing for nature and wildlife all across the country. Last year we had over 20,000 people across our two counties taking on the challenge and we cannot wait to see what they, and any 30 Days Wild newbies, all get up to this year. 30 Days Wild is fun, free and easy – and after such a challenging year, we’ve never needed nature more!”
