12 Days Wild is The Wildlife Trusts’ heart-warming Christmas challenge and a reminder that even during the coldest days and darkest nights, the natural world has amazing things to offer.

Northumberland Wildlife Trust chief executive Mike Pratt said: “Spending time in nature has given many of us a boost this year. We can feel happier and healthier outdoors, and carrying out small, random acts of wildness might just help to banish some blues this winter.”
