This June Manx Wildlife Trust is asking everyone do something wild every day for a month.

A total of 25,000 people across the British Isles signed up last year, doing something Wild and enjoying the health and well-being benefits of inter-acting with the natural world.

Trusts have been working with the University of Derby to prove that spending time in nature is good for people.

Participants are encouraged to invent their own ’Random Acts of Wildness’ or use our list for our inspiration - these acts are everyday ways to connect with nature or help wildlife.

This could be as simple as:

Inhale: take a few seconds out to smell a wildflower

Record: put wild sounds onto your phone and make them your ringtone - you’ll be transported back to the wild every time you get a call

Encounter: share a close encounter with a favourite species - take a friend along to a Wildlife Trust event

Create: make a wild work of art outdoors and leave it for others to enjoy

There are more Manx ideas on the Manx Wildlife Trust website - www.manxwt.org.uk - to help everyone enjoy the outdoors around the island, especially during TT.

In addition, Manx Wildlife Trust has created three special wild packs to help individuals, schools and businesses get involved.

Packs can be obtained by signing up at www.wildlifetrusts.org/30dayswild.
