12 Days Wild - The Wildlife Trust


Hi everyone I know you all must be looking forward to having some time off over the festive period. Me and my baby brother are looking forward to eating lots of treats as well as going on some mini adventures!
                   
              

Some of you are aware and followed me when we took part as a family for the '30 Days Wild' in June and July of this year. Where for 30 days we did a random act of kindness or connected with nature for 30 days. At the end of the challenge we received a certificate! See my links below of my 30 days challenge for inspiration.

Between 25th December to the 5th January there is a midwinter nature challenge you can take part in. This is called '12 Days Wild'. Yes you guessed it, you are encouraged to do a random act of kindness or connect with nature for 12 days. This period a lot of you may be on your school holidays or off work; so it's a perfect time to go outdoors and explore.

Your acts of kindness or connecting with nature could be making sure you do all recycling, feed the birds or even going on a walk after your Christmas dinner!                              
              

If this sounds like something you would like to take part in then make sure you get an adult to help you sign up to 'The Wildlife Trusts 12 Days Wild!'
