This is the perfect time of year to go outdoors and get in touch with nature! Buds are bursting, insects are emerging, birds are singing, tadpoles are wriggling – there is so much new to see each day! Our book Make This Book Wild is the perfect companion for every wild adventure; how many pages can you fill to make a magical scrapbook to celebrate nature’s magic?

We are very excited about our amazing new interactive nature scrapbook, to be published on 15 March! How WILD will you make yours?

Want to do your bit to spread the word about the climate and ecological emergency?

Join our Leaves for Life campaign, a great way to urge immediate action and raise awareness of the perils faced by our planet.  All you need to do is: find a leaf – decorate it with a powerful message – share it. #LeavesforLife 

We at Going Wild want to give everyone, especially young people, a voice on behalf of nature. Leaves are crucial to life on earth and a perfect way to spread our urgent message. Let’s use them to create a worldwide media storm!  

We aim to build momentum over the spring and summer. Then, in the run up to COP26 in November, we will shower leaf messages on world leaders and senior industrialists, demanding action on the climate and ecological emergency.

To achieve global reach we need to work together and get millions of beautiful leaf messages out for the world to see.  Hang them in your window, from a tree in your street, get your local schools to participate, involve your local arts community.  Make one yourself and be ready to bombard social media!  

We’re so excited to see all these wild creations inspiring hope and action for our wonderful planet. 

To nature’s recovery!

Tips – 

• Go outside, search for a tree that is special to you; sit down and listen to it.  If the tree could talk, what message would it give to the world? Share this message on one of its precious leaves.
• Most paints and pens work but experiment to find out which materials will work best on your leaf. 
• It’s easier to apply paint on leaves that have been pressed between sheets of paper for a few days.
• Decorate how you wish – cut out messages, paint pictures, stick leaves together or create some amazing land art.
