More than 2,500 people have signed up to go wild for the 30 days of June with The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.

The national 30 Days Wild campaign aims to get tens of thousands of people to do something wild every day in June.

This ranges from walking into your garden and feeding the birds to more planned activities like climbing every tall hill in your area.

Campaigns Officer Alan Wright toured all 39 nature reserves in Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside in June last year.

Mr Wright said: “30 Days Wild is a great way for people, large and small, to get into the outdoors every day for a month.

“Families try to get out every day in June, to visit a park or a nature reserve. More active people get on their hiking boots or running shoes every day. The less active make sure they do a bit in their garden or pop down the park.

"Obviously, getting outdoors and doing a bit of exercise is good for you too.”

There are opportunities for schools, businesses and organisations to get involved.
