12 Days Wild - Wildlife Trusts

Join us for 12 Days Wild

A midwinter nature challenge 

12 Days Wild is our festive nature challenge, encouraging you to do one wild thing a day from the 25 December to the 5 January each year. In those weird days between Christmas and New Year, winter wildlife is just waiting to be explored! Your wild acts could be little things to help nature - like recycling your Christmas tree or feeding the birds – or ways to connect to the natural world, like walking off your Christmas dinner in the woods or admiring the beauty of stargazing.
