Big Wild Walk

What is the Big Wild Walk?

Big Wild Walk is an autumnal fundraising challenge that celebrates moving in nature as you raise money for the wildlife you love! How far you walk is completely up to you.

Whatever you do, you’ll also experience the benefits to health and wellbeing that comes from connecting with nature.
 

Is the Big Wild Walk 2026 taking place?

We're focusing on the Hedgehog Walk - our fundraising walk for children which takes part in the spring. Keep a look out on the Hedgehog Walk page for more information on the 2026 walk.
 

Can I still do a Big Wild Walk Fundraising challenge?

Yes! Although we aren't actively running Big Wild Walk, you can still support nature's recovery with your own fundraising challenge. We have provided all the previous assets for the Big Wild Walk for you to use. You can also set up your fundraising pages through popular platforms such as JustGiving.

From posts for social media to tracking sheets to follow your progress, everything you need can be downloaded below.

How does taking part help wildlife?

Wildlife is disappearing at an alarming rate and the threat of climate catastrophe is a constant worry. The Wildlife Trusts are calling for at least 30% of our land and sea to be connected and protected for nature’s recovery by 2030. From campaigning for protected areas at sea, to working with landowners and community groups to create wildlife-friendly spaces, your fundraising will help us to bring wildlife back across the UK and in the Isle of Man and Alderney.
