This June, can you do something wild every day for a month?
Make this the month when you do something wild every day and make nature part of your life.
When you sign up to the Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild Challenge, they’ll send you a pack full of inspiration, ideas and Random Acts of Wildness. Plus a funky wallchart to track your progress and a wild
badge!
Ideas for wild things to do in June include:
Write a poem about nature
Cook with ingredients foraged from the outdoors (but remember to follow the foragers' code)
Follow a bee on it's journey
Keep a nature diary
There are several blogs out there with a lot of ideas, so i won't replicate them here! one to look at is Louise's 30 Days Wild blog.

Whatever you choose to do, the idea is to make more time to get outside and enjoy nature. And with it being June, the weather is likely to be kind to you!
I spend a lot of time out in nature and today was no exception. I walked, as I often do, along the River Esk in Musselburgh (where the skies above the river were full of house martins, swallows and swifts) and along the John Muir Walkway to the Lagoons. I was totally delighted to watch this little blue tit coming and going from its nest in the bird hide

Nice spot Crafty Green Poet, Blue Tits are lovely birds. I hope you don't mind but I gave your little bird photo a makeover which I'm sure you'll appreciate. You can view it via my dropbox folder (https://www.dropbox.com/s/y1fijgyla2gkbk5/BlueTit.png?dl=0)
Are you doing the 30 Days Wild Challenge?
Hi Ian
Thanks for the photo makeover and yes i am doing the 30 Days Wild Challenge and will be blooging about it, which information seems to have not made it onto the blog so I'll update!
This 30 days wild sounds like a great challenge. It is neat seeing where the little bird has its nest. Enjoy you weekend!
That sounds like great fun, too.
Thanks for the mention - glad you liked my posts! Looking forward to June and seeing what everyone taking part gets up to! :)
This sounds like a good idea and I am debating. I do lots of "wild things" but am scheduled to spend 9 days in New York City this June and wonder if I could pull it off.

Hi Eileen, I watched the blue tit for several minutes, lovely to see it's home
Lynn - definitely fun!
Louise, yes I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone gets up to!
Sage - It would be really interesting to see what urban nature you could find in New York and i've heard Central Park is ana amazing place for birds, specially the wild part, the Rambles I thin it's called
This sounds wonderful, been feeling very stodgy recently and need to be outside more. thanks for sharing
