A midwinter nature challenge
12 Days Wild is our festive nature challenge, encouraging you to do one wild thing a day from 25 December to 5 January each year. In those quiet 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 taking in the calm of stargazing.
