On 11th July, Nikki & Georgie are taking part in the Running Wild Mud event at Nuclear Races, Brentwood along with the crazy team from Carbon Numbers.

Covering 5k of Obstacles, Water and Mud and hopefully raise vital funds for our wildlife and wild places in Essex.

This will be Nikki's 3rd year taking part but Georgie's first time, so she doesn't quite know what she has let herself in for but I assure you, its great fun.

Essex Wildlife Trust, our mission is to protect wildlife and inspire a lifelong love of nature.

Late spring mornings should ring out with the song of the nightingale, our evenings should be illuminated by glow worms. Hedgehogs should be snuffling through our gardens, bees and butterflies should gently flutter by and starlings should dance in the sky in their thousands.

Every person should be able to experience walking through a wildflower meadow, brimming with insects and colours, or stroll through an ancient woodland to the beat of a woodpeckers drum.

We believe we can make this vision a reality.

But our work is only possible thanks to wonderful people like you.

Thank you for helping us protect the future.
