Gwent Wildlife Trust is asking everyone to ‘do something wild’ every day this month.

The challenge is to make room for nature no matter where you are or how busy your life.

Everyone who signs up to The Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild – the UK’s first ever month-long nature challenge – will receive a pack full of encouragement, ideas and ‘Random Acts of Wildness’.

They will also receive a wallchart to track progress, a wild badge, and regular blasts of inspiration straight to their inbox to help everyone make nature part of their lives, whether that’s watching the water voles feeding at Magor Marsh, strolling through the woods at Springdale Farm, Usk, or taking in the views and the orchids at Pentwyn Farm, near Monmouth.

The 30 Days Wild sign-up page is wildlifetrusts.org/30dayswild where GWT has listed 101 fun and intriguing ideas to get you started.

TV presenter Iolo Williams, who’s supporting the challenge, said, “You could climb to the highest hill, take a wild photo or even follow a bumble bee to see where it takes you. Join us for 30 Days Wild and find your wild life!”

A spokesperson for GWT added, “We know that a generation of children are growing up disconnected from nature – only one in ten ever play in wild places. But this is a problem that affects adults too. It can be difficult to create the right moment or to find time for nature in busy lives. We’re here to inspire people – whatever your age, wherever you live, we want everyone to feel they can take part.

“We’re asking people to invent their own ‘Random Acts of Wildness’ or use our list for our inspiration.

“You could, for example, take a few seconds out to smell a wildflower or record wild sounds onto your phone and make them your ringtone or take a friend along to a Wildlife Trust event or create a wild work of art outdoors and leave it for others to enjoy…

People who sign up can also take a wildness quiz which has been developed with the University of Derby to measure people’s connection to nature, happiness and their pro-nature behaviour before and after the month.
