12 Days of Wild Christmas

12 Days of Wild Christmas

In those weird days between Christmas and New Year, winter wildlife is just waiting to be explored!

12 Days Wild is our mini Christmas challenge, encouraging you to do one wild thing a day from the 25th December to the 5th January.

We know that keeping up with a daily dose of nature can be tough, especially as the days start getting shorter. But time outside is proven to do wonders for your health and wellbeing.

So, to provide a little mid-winter inspiration, today we've launched this year's 12 Days of Wild Christmas. The idea is simple: one Random Act of Wildness a day starting on Christmas Day up until the 5th January.

Get closer to nature this Christmas with our winter wildlife challenge

We know that keeping up with a daily dose of nature can be tough, especially as the days start getting shorter. But time outside is proven to do wonders for your health and wellbeing. So, to provide a little mid-winter inspiration, we're launching 12 Days of Wild Christmas. The idea is simple: one Random Act of Wildness a day starting on Christmas Day up until the 5th January.

They can be as simple as watching a bird from your window, or as adventurous as exploring a new wild place. The challenge is set to stay wild with your us for the rest of the year.

At first glance, winter can seem a bit bleak, but take a look around and you’ll see that nature has plenty of gifts to offer, even in the depths of December. Flocks of thrushes chatter in hedgerows, feasting on glistening red berries; frost forges delicate, glittering sculptures on every surface; ducks dabble and dive on lakes and reservoirs; and rain-soaked mud and freshly-fallen snow preserve the footprints of birds and mammals, leaving perfect tracks to be discovered.

12 Days of Wild Christmas is also a chance to give something back. Small changes can make a difference. Recycle your Christmas tree, turn your leftovers into a tasty meal or – if you’re brave enough – raise a bit of money for wildlife with a polar plunge on New Year’s Day! A Random Act of Wildness can benefit the planet, as well as your own sense of wellbeing.

So, whether you take five minutes to sit and watch the birds from your window, with a mug of hot chocolate in hand, or pull on your warmest Christmas jumper for an afternoon exploring a local nature reserve, why not join us in taking on this amazing winter wildlife challenge?
