Good morning friends! The Wildlife Trusts’ Big Wild Walk will run from 21 October – 3 November 2024, raising funds to protect 30% of land and sea by 2030.

I’ll be walking every day, recording Series 51 of your daily walking podcast, Walk the Pod. Join Team Walk the Pod to get outside this autumn, walk, and protect wildlife!

The Wildlife Trusts is a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, on a mission to restore a third of the UK’s land and seas for nature by 2030. The Wildlife Trust believes everyone, everywhere, should have access to nature and the joy and health benefits it brings.

With 41% of species in decline and 15% at risk of extinction, the crisis facing UK nature is unprecedented. Protecting wildlife alone isn’t enough now; restoration is essential. Through the #BigWildWalk, you can be part of nature’s recovery. The Wildlife Trusts are a force of nature, with almost 1 million supporters.

No matter where you are in the UK, there is a Wildlife Trust inspiring people about nature and standing up for wildlife and wild places. Each Wildlife Trust is an independent charity formed by people getting together to make a positive difference to wildlife, climate and future generations. Together we have more than 850,000 members, over 42,500 volunteers, 2,000 staff and 600 trustees.
