Today's the first of June so it must be the start of the Wildlife Trusts' #30DaysWild.
This annual initiative aims to encourage us all to live our lives a little wilder - maybe have a picnic in the park, a bug hunt in the back garden or a long ramble in the countryside. There's something really that every age group can become involved in. I'm likely to be doing the gentler sort of activity - sowing the wildflowers seeds from my #30DaysWild pack, watching the birds in and around my garden, collecting elderflowers to make fizz, or a walk in search of wild flowers. Having joined in before, I find it's a wonderful encouragement to just stop for five minutes, look around, and notice all the signs of 'wildness' about you. I live on a suburban housing estate but there are birds, wild flowers and 'weeds', bugs and beetles, bats and occasionally foxes (generally heard yapping at night rather than seen). A lot more 'wildness' than you might expect.
My postal #30DaysWild pack contains a calendar for the month to either plan or record activities. I'm not good at planning so will be using it to keep track of what I've done.
If you haven't heard of this initiative, or have forgotten to sign up for this year, details can be found here.
