Essex Coastal Challenge 2021 · 1 August 2021 to 31 August 2021 ·
Last year, our amazing Challenge Champions ran, cycled, paddled, walked and took part in Essex Wildlife Trust's first ever virtual fundraising challenge event, celebrating our stunning 350-mile coastline and all the wildlife that call it home. If you missed out last summer, don't worry - because we're back for more...
Join the team, complete your challenge and get your exclusive medal with this year's ribbon. Challenge yourself and fundraise for your favourite local wildlife charity this August. If you raise over £100, your name can be featured in our Wild magazine - and if you raise over £350, not only will you have raised £1 for every mile of our precious coastline to protect our wildlife, but you can also join our exclusive online HALL OF FAME, new this year.
Whatever your fitness level, you can take part. So dig out all the blue items in your wardrobe, dust off your running shoes, rust off your squeaky bikes and join the team for Challenge 2021. #essexcoastalchallenge
Throughout Challenge Month, learn all about this precious place of wonder with Essex Wildlife Trust.
NO ONE WILL PROTECT WHAT THEY DON'T FIRST CARE ABOUT - AND NO ONE WILL CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DON'T FIRST EXPERIENCE. Sir David Attenborough.
The impacts of climate change are heavily felt on Essex's stunning 350 mile long coastline. Our internationally important saltmarsh habitats are retreating at 100 hectares per year. But their natural walls protect our coastal communities from storm surges - and saltmarsh stores carbon at an even faster rate than woodlands.
Nature needs our help. Together we can protect the future. Join us by taking part in the Essex Coastal Challenge. #essexcoastalchallenge
