We have been enjoying our winter nature challenge, 12 Days Wild, encouraging people to do something for wildlife every day for the traditional 12 days of Christmas. This challenge helps to fill those strange days between Christmas and New Year with winter wildlife but also helps to spark a love for nature into 2022. By setting your New Year’s resolution with wildlife in mind, you can help to achieve your own 365 days wild.

We are working towards a decade of transformation with ambitious aims to be achieved by 2030. We aim to protect and restore 30% of land and sea for wildlife, have 1 in 4 people taking action for nature and restore 1,000 hectares of habitat to provide nature-based solutions. It is only with the support of our valuable members that we will be able to achieve these. 

This January, we have two fantastic offers if you join as a member. You can either join from just £1.50 a month with our half price membership offer OR you can bag yourself a free 2022 Wildlife Trust calendar when you sign up to donate £10 or more a month. When you join as a member, you'll receive your welcome pack filled with a guide to our top nature reserves, two issues of our magazine to catch up on and wildlife gardening inspiration to bring wildlife to your local wild space. Make the most of our fantastic membership offers this month by joining as a member at avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/join-us.

Or are you looking for a new challenge where you can help local wildlife at the same time? Why not take on Bath Half Marathon 2022 and run to help restore and protect Avon's wildlife for generations to come. In doing so, you would be a part of the inaugural Team AWT, taking on challenge events across the local area to raise money for local wildlife.

We still have charity places available for those who want to be part of something special. To join #TeamAWT on our inaugural event, register now for just £20 for one of our charity entries and pledge to raise a minimum of £300.

Or have you got your place already but are interested in fundraising for Avon’s wildlife? You'll get the same support as our charity place runners but there's no minimum fundraising pledge.
