Being Wild is an important part of building a thriving, active community.  Wild is about creating places for people and nature to thrive together.  It is about overcoming the complex barriers that prevent being outdoors in a natural environment becoming an everyday occurrence for so many of us.

Why Wild?

Wild is about connecting to one another in meaningful ways and remembering our connection to the places we live and everything else that lives there. Wild exists in Birmingham and Solihull and we want to celebrate it and encourage us all to experience it.

From Project Wild Thing a great introduction to the science of nature and how it can support us through the next few weeks, even if we just take time to notice it through our windows – watch the full 80 film for free here

Everyday a Wild Day!

Each day of the week we will share a wild challenge on Active Communities Going Wild – it might be encouraging you to notice something new emerging this spring like flowers or discovering new bird song. It might be some ideas to help you grow some food or plants on your windowsill or garden. We’ll find some nature-based crafts to keep you and your family entertained. We will even try to find some games to play to keep you active.

Wild Stories

We’d love to hear your stories about the wild challenge. What have you seen, or heard, made or experienced? Have these ideas changed the way you or your family are spending your time, has it made you think, or act or feel differently? We’d love it you share stories with us. And don’t forget to use social media too #WildTogether
