Wild Walk Week 2023
Take a walk on the wild side!
Join in with our annual fundraising event and help raise money for nature’s recovery whilst getting some fresh air and spending time in nature!
Wild Walk Week 2023 runs from Saturday 28th October to Sunday 5th November and you can get involved by setting up your own sponsored walk. See below for some wild walk inspiration, including wildlife-themed challenges and fundraising tips and tricks!
Anyone can take part, from work teams, school friends, neighbours, families and individuals! So, put your boots on, pack a flask of tea and some biscuits, and head out on a local walk to explore our many wonderful wild spaces. Don’t forget your binoculars and ID guides too as there’s plenty of wildlife to spot in autumn - take a look at this autumn wildlife spotter guide!
