Have you signed up to 30 Days Wild, to challenge yourself to do something Wild every day in June? There’s still time to sign up, and even if you have already, perhaps your friends, families or collages might like to join in too?

Your daily acts of wildness could be anything from star gazing, eating your lunch outside on the grass instead of at your desk, building a bug house or enjoying birdsong in a meadow – your acts of wildness are completely up to you. Plus when signing up you get a pack which includes a wallchart, a poster, an interactive booklet and some stickers to help you go wild, just select who is taking part and take the next step – click here to sign up http://action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/20877/petition/1
