What is 12 Days Wild?

12 Days Wild is a festive nature challenge that encourages you to do one wild thing a day between 25^th December and the 5^th January each year. Your challenge is to make as many connections to nature and wildlife as you can.

Why take the challenge?

Winter wildlife may not get as much attention as spring wildlife, but there’s so much to discover! It’s a brilliant time to see migrating birds like fieldfare and redwing, or to watch the amazing spectacle of starling murmurations. Longer nights are ideal for stargazing, and crisp winter walks through nature do wonders at chasing away those winter blues. 

Your wild acts could be little things to help nature - like recycling your Christmas tree or thawing out icy waters when the temperature drops. They could even be simply taking the time to appreciate nature and getting to know the wildlife that surrounds you.

By signing up you’ll receive daily inspiration and access to a digital pack full of goodies including a wallchart to track your progress, activity sheets, and more! Your interest will also support us to continue running this annual challenge.
