Northumberland Wildlife Trust is encouraging residents to 'do something wild every day' this June.

The event celebrates the 10th anniversary of the 30 Days Wild UK nature challenge.

Participants will receive a special commemorative pack to help them engage with nature during what is said to be the prime month for wildlife spotting.

The initiative has grown exponentially from 12,000 participants in its first year, to more than three million taking part since 2015.

Mike Pratt, Northumberland Wildlife Trust chief executive, said: "Every single thing we do to nurture nature directly benefits people too.

"Helping nature to recover is about restoring our relationship with the natural world and this also makes us feel better.

"Let your lawn grow long for grasshoppers, take time to notice birdsong in the park, or join a community growing project - the possibilities are endless."

Northumberland Wildlife Trust is hoping to inspire a wave of 'wild' action at home, in the workplace, and in the community.

Activities suggested include having breakfast outside, listening to birdsong, litter picking, and attending the Big Wild Saturday event at Northumberlandia on Saturday, June 15, between 10am and 2pm.
