30 Awesome Things To Do For The #30DaysWild Campaign 2022

The 1st of June can mean only one thing – the #30DaysWild campaign has begun! To help you get involved, here are 30 days of wild ideas for you.

Go Plastic Free For The Day

See if you could go an entire day not using, buying or throwing any plastic. You’ll be surprised to see how often we use plastic without even realising.

Go Bug Hunting

Perhaps a great one to do with the kids on a nice day. Take a list of potential bugs you might be able to find and tick off the ones you find.

Have A Meal Outside

Whether it’s breakfast, dinner, lunch, or even just a snack, spend some time outside enjoying a meal of some kind.

Hike Through A Forest

Day 4 of 30 days of wild ideas. Find yourself a great hiking trail through some woods and become one with nature.

Do Some Gardening

There’s no better time to get out in the garden than this time of year. The flowers are in bloom, the birds are tweeting and theres just so much to take in. Perhaps your garden could do with a bit of TLC, or a bit of de-weeding after the wetter months.

Take Some Photos Of Nature

How about a nice relaxing day taking photos of nature. Whether it’s taking photos of trees, or flowers. Or perhaps even any animals you come across (if they can stay still long enough). Get creative with your photography skills and see what you can come up with.

Spend A Day At Go Ape Swinging From The Trees

If you’re looking for something a little more active, then perhaps you could spend the day, or afternoon at a Go Ape facility. Swing from the trees, walk in the woods, or even have a go on a segway.

Go Fruit Picking

Of course, don’t just go randomly picking berries from bushes as many will be poisonous. However, see if you can find a fruit farm to visit in your area. You could even make a jam, or pie out of your hoard!

Make A Bug Hotel

Make the bugs in your garden feel welcome and at home by creating their very own bug hotel. All you need are some old bits of wood and twigs, perhaps a broken bit of a garden pot. Pile it all up in an out of the way spot in your garden and see who comes to stay.

Hang A Bird Feeder In Your Garden

The birds will love you for hanging up a bird feeder in your garden. It might take a day or two for them to come, but they will! I wonder how many varieties of birds you will have come to visit?

Go Bird Watching

Take a bird book with you, or perhaps just your phone and a pair of binoculars and see how many varieties of birds you can find on your travels.

Visit A National Trust Site

With so many National Trust sites scattered all across the UK, it shouldn’t be hard to find one near you to go and have a wonder around. Whether you walk along a trail, or visit a historic site such as a castle.

Do A Litter Pick

While doing something for your #30DaysWild campaign, you could also do a litter pick around your area to help nature flourish.

Make A Daisy Chain

There’s nothing more relaxing on a warm summer’s day than creating a little daisy chain. I bet it’s not something you’ve even done since you were a young child yourself. Do you think you’d still know how to make one?

Explore Rockpools

Explore the rockpools and see what you can find. From fish and crabs, to sea anemones and other plant life. Just make sure you don’t disturb them in their little pools!

Make A Sand Castle

No matter how old you are, you’re never too old to build aa sand castle at the beach – or in your back garden.

Swim In The Sea

Can you brave the cold and go for a swim in the sea? Of course, make sure it’s safe to do so!

Feed The Ducks

Make sure you feed the ducks with the right foods! Apparently bread isn’t all that great for them so do some research before you go feeding them things that could hurt them. Also, make sure it’s OK to feed them before doing so, although there should be signs up if it’s not OK.

Find A New Nature Trail

This could be a biking trail to go exploring on in your area. Or, perhaps a trail that the kids would enjoy. Even just somewhere to go walking, just make sure it’s somewhere you haven’t been before.

Go For A Picnic

Wit all this nice weather we’ve been having, why not envelope yourself in nature by having a lovely picnic. Great to do with the kids if you take some outdoor games, as a romantic date with your partner, or as something a little different to do with friends.

Go For A Walk In The Rain

Get yourself into some waterproof gear, stick your wellies on and go and enjoy a walk in the rain. You could even jump in some puddles if you really wanted to bring out your inner child.

Exercise Outside

Forget the gym for a day and do your daily exercise outside instead. Follow a Youtube workout video, or just make something up as you go. Get the heart pumping while you go wild in nature.

Find Faces In The Clouds

On a cloudy day, find yourself a good spot to lie down outside, stick on your sunglasses and start looking for faces and shapes in the clouds. What whacky things you find in the sky?

Go Camping

A great activity for all the family, for a date or with friends. You could even camp in your back garden if you don’t want to go further afield.

Have A BBQ

You could make it a bit of an event at the weekend and invite some friends over, or have it as a more intimate occasion with just your family. Treat yourself with some burgers, chicken skewers, hot dogs and of course some jacket potatoes!

Watch A Sunset Or Sunrise

Depending on whether you’re a morning person, or a bit of a night owl, you could watch the sunrise or set for todays 30 days of wild ideas. Grab yourself a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate and watch it rise, or set as the birds chirp away in the background.

Plant Wildflowers

We really can’t do enough to help the bees and the insects more than by planting wild flowers, or sowing seeds for them to enjoy. Without bees and insects there would be no human life so we really do owe them everything!

Explore A Nature Reserve

There are so many great nature reserves all across the UK to visit and go exploring in. See how many animals, insects, flowers and plants you can find in this one area. Perhaps make it a competition with the kids to see who can find the most.

Listen To The Birds

A great way to relax afterwork is to sit back and listen to the birds tweeting away. See if you can hear the different birds – and even identify any if you know your birds well!

Have A Meat Free Day

Do your bit for nature and the environment and have a meat free day. See if you can go the entire day eating only fruits and veggies!

We hope you found some of these 30 days of wild ideas useful to you throughout the #30DaysWild campaign this year.
