I have to keep pinching myself at the thought of how lucky I am to be sandwiched between the green hills of the South Downs and the deep blue sea. Even after five and a half years of living in Brighton, I am still in awe when finding new wild areas of nature that I haven’t yet explored.
I first got involved with The Wildlife Trust and 30 Days Wild at University, when I helped volunteer a few times at The Centre for Wildlife Gardening in Peckham, London. It felt amazing to meet new people, help out planting veggies, and identifying insects.
I took part in 30 Days Wild last year as a way to reconnect with nature
I took part in 30 Days Wild last year as a way to reconnect with nature and focus on something that I could take control of during the uncertainty of Covid. My time was spent mostly running, beach cleaning, watching the sunrise on the beach, and listening to the birds at our local nature reserve.
