Big Wild Weekend with Hampshire and the Isle of Wight
There’s great stuff planned throughout the month, but our special Big Wild Weekend events from the 19th - 20th June should not be missed!
Join us, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, for a weekend of virtual festivities celebrating the amazing actions YOU have taken in the last year to protect our local wildlife. Watch live as we present awards to individuals, groups, organisations, and landowners who’ve taken great steps to make space for nature and then take a walk around the virtual exhibition hall to meet and talk to our award winners and runners up. There’ll be plenty of activities and workshops to get stuck into as well. Go on a virtual walk with our reserves officers or get your family involved in an arts and crafts session. Come and go as you please, tuning in to a combination of pre-recorded and live events.
This year, to celebrate the amazing actions for nature that are happening all over our two counties, we’re hosting our inaugural Wilder Festival and Annual Awards!
We have a packed schedule for you, your friends, and your family to take part in and because this is all online, you can come and go as you please!
