30 Days Wild

Author Mark Barkaway
Head of Fundraising and Communications

This summer we’re encouraging people to get outdoors and take part in the UK’s first month-long nature challenge event ’30 days wild’.

Research shows that those who live near and experience greenspaces have a 50 per cent chance of being more healthy – both physically and mentally – and are 40 per cent less likely to become overweight or obese. Getting back to nature is good for us.

Some campaigns ask you for cash. Others ask you to bake, grow a moustache or give up something that’s bad for you. We just want you to start giving yourself time in nature every day.

Throughout the month of June we’re challenging people in Sussex to do something wild every day for 30 days because we believe life is better when it’s a bit wild. We want as many people as possible to experience nature and make it part of their everyday life.

You can sign up for your 30 Days Wild, and get a pack full of ideas, inspiration and Random Acts of Wildness to keep you motivated and help you make room for nature in the busiest of lives. You’ll receive emails throughout the month with things you can do near to your home, activities to inspire you and your family, and a fun chance to measure how your wildness changes throughout the month.

Wildlife and wild places are closer than you think.
