This festive, mini nature challenge is designed to inspire individuals and families to connect to the natural world over the 12 Days of Christmas through a small fun activity each day.

The challenge itself takes place in the weird days between Christmas and New Year, from 25 December to the 5 January.

Liam Geary Baulch, Senior Community Activism Officer said: “During winter it can often be difficult to feel connected to the natural world but we can help!

“Sign-up for this challenge and you’ll receive an email each day with suggestions of the little things you can do to help nature - like recycling your Christmas tree or feeding the birds.

“There will also be suggestions of fun ways for you to connect with nature, like walking off your Christmas dinner in the woods, or admiring the beauty of a winter sunset.”

12 Days Wild is a completely free activity, and sign-ups open today (Monday 5 December). To take part visit  https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/12dayswild
