Out on your Big Winter Wander, you might notice there's less wildlife than there used to be. That's because the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Half of all UK species are in decline and were losing our precious red squirrels, hedgehogs and birds at an alarming rate.

By taking part in The Big Winter Wander, you can reconnect with our country's beautiful wildlife and help protect it. The funds you raise will help us campaign to protect wildlife here, and around the world.

Nature has been there to offer us comfort during difficult times, and now its our time to give back.
