Stay Wild in Lockdown

Here we go again. With all the stress an uncertainty that this lockdown comes with maintaining a connection with the natural world is more important than ever to ensure we’re looking after our health and wellbeing. We know that time spent in nature makes us happier and healthier, but given the current climate, this can be tricky.

It’s important to stay active and exercise where you can, why not try some morning yoga in your own back garden or a walk round the block? A bit of time spent in nature every day can help relieve stress and improve mental wellbeing.

We’ve put together lots of activities, challenges and things to keep you busy throughout lockdown that will benefit you and wildlife.

Please share any photos or stories of you staying wild with us on our social media accounts! We'd love to see them and help inspire others to stay wild too #everydaywildlife

You'll be pleased to hear that our nature reserves will all stay open so you can spend time in nature. If you do want to visit a nature reserve or head out to your local green space, make sure you follow Government guidance on social distancing. 

Here are some wild activities to help you connect with nature whilst you spend time outside.

If you're not able to get outside, don't worry. We've got some activities suitable for rainy days spent indoors.

If you can't get outside or you don't fancy bracing the chilly weather, we've got lots of ways you can connect with nature and help wildlife from the comfort of your home.
