100 Ideas for #30dayswild 2020

Tomorrow is June 1st, which can only mean one thing… #30dayswild is back!! #30dayswild is where you to do one wild thing a day throughout the whole month: for your health, wellbeing and for the planet. That’s 30 simple, fun and exciting Random Acts of Wildness.This year is slightly different though. Thanks to Covid, the wildlife trust aren’t sending our packs. Everything is online. You can still sign up and join in, it’s completely free! Once signed up, you will be able to download and print and abundance of material and things to do throughout the month of June.

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.” – Alice Walker

We participated last year and loved it so much. Molly is most definitely a wild child, so we wanted to partake again this year, and share some ideas to hopefully help encourage you to join in too!
