30 Days Wild: The UK’s biggest nature challenge!
Are you ready to take on the 30 Days Wild challenge? We know you can do it!
30 Days Wild is The Wildlife Trusts’ annual challenge event, where we ask kids (and grown-ups too,) to take on wild activities throughout June. Get ready to embrace the great outdoors like never before!
From planting wildflowers for bees, to listening to bird song, there’s endless ways to spend your wild month! Whether you complete an activity a day, or a couple in a week, we guarantee you’ll have an amazing time connecting with wildlife, whilst helping to save the planet at the same time.
Ask your parents/guardians/teachers to sign you up today to receive your FREE goodies in the post, and receive daily emails full of fascinating facts and fun activities to help you achieve your wild challenge.

Frequently asked questions
Which option should I choose when I sign up and what is included?
This year we’ve simplified the choices and created clear distinctions between resources for kids and adults. After surveying lots of previous 30 Days Wild-ers, we listened to your feedback and created one 30 Days Wild challenge that’s perfect for those taking part with children, and a more ‘grown-up’ version for those taking part without children.
The kids’ postal resources feature a child-friendly design and includes herb seeds, a poster with wildlife facts on invertebrates and a spotter sheet, stickers and a guide for parents/guardians/teachers on how to go wild with lots of activity ideas.
'Grown-ups’ taking part without children will receive a greeting card through the post, complete with a pack of herb seeds and a tear-away postcard to send to a friend to encourage them to get involved with you!
Everyone will also receive access to digital resources, including:
- Daily emails with ideas and inspiration
- Activity guides
- Spotting sheets
- Weekly completion badges to use on social media platforms
- Completion certificate
- Lesson plans (for educators)
Can schools, businesses and care homes take part?
Last year marked the 10th anniversary of 30 Days Wild, so we took the time to speak to participants about what they liked about 30 Days Wild and what they thought could be improved. As a result of the feedback we received, we simplified the sign-up options.
If you are taking part with a school, children’s activity group such as Scouts or a homeschooling group, choose the 'taking part with children’ option. You’ll still have access to 30 Days Wild lesson plans when you sign up along with the full suite of digital resources.
If you’re taking part with a care home or business, we recommend choosing the 'taking part without children’ option. You’ll get access to a whole range of digital resources and ideas via email, which can be adapted to suit your needs.
I’ll be taking part with teenagers. Which option should I choose?
It’s up to you! The design and activity suggestions of the 'grown-ups’ option may feel more appropriate depending on the age of your teenager, so we would recommend that. However, you’re welcome to order the kids’ resources if you feel it would be more appropriate for your family. Don’t forget to check out all our digital resources too!
Will there be a fabric badge this year?
Yes! The collectable fabric badges from Pawprint Family will be back this year. You can order badges via their website.
