Animal awareness days are created by individuals, animal charities, governing bodies, and many other types of founders to celebrate the brilliant and wonderful creatures we share this planet with. Can I create an animal awareness day? TheWildlife Trusts is a movement made up of 46 Wildlife Trusts: independent charities with a shared mission. As soon as restrictions allow, Oxford-based operator Active England will start running new Source to Sea trips – where participants paddleboard, kayak, canoe, swim, walk (or run) and cycle the length of well-known English and Welsh rivers. There are chances to hitch a ride on a boat, a steam train or a support vehicle, so these are not just for the super-fit. Nights are spent in pubs or around the fire pit, with a choice of glamping or hotel accommodation. The four river trips are: the Wye, from its source in the Cambrian mountains to Chepstow; the Tyne, from Deadwater Fell in Northumberland to Tynemouth; the Thames, from Thames Head in Gloucestershire to central London (not quite to the sea!); and three rivers in Devon and Cornwall – the Dart, Fowey and Camel. The Nest Collective, which stages folk music events in green spaces, is running six nature walks along chalk streams in southern England in June. Each walk is led by the collective’s founder, Sam Lee, who is a Mercury prize-nominated folk singer, and an “eco pioneer” special guest. For example, the walk along the Rivers Cray, Darent and Thames is with biologist Dr Amy-Jane Beer. The other locations are along the Chess, Stour, Colne, Kennet, Mimram and Beane; all start and end at a railway station a short distance from London. The three- to five-mile meanders include several stops for songs and talks. The collective is also taking walkers and singers on a turtle dove pilgrimage in Sussex (10-13 June) and a salmon pilgrimage in the Cairngorms (17-20 June). Wilderlands is a new project that aims to support nature in the UK by encouraging rewilding. This summer, it is hosting a series of “wild weekends” where people can spend time outdoors and learn more about conservation. The events, run by the people behind August’s Into the Wild festival, will take place every weekend from 21 May to 19 September in woods in Chiddinglye, West Sussex. All weekends feature bushcraft workshops (den-building, identifying birdsong), wild crafts (wood carving, flint knapping) and live music. Some have a specific focus, such as folklore, song or yoga, and most are family-friendly. Campers can pitch their own tents or hire bell tents or a woodland cabin.Strong chilli powder or pepper sauce (like Tabasco) can be shaken onto bird food. Birds aren't bothered by the chilli, but most squirrels can't put up with the burning sensation and will leave the food alone. During Week One, children will discover the UK’s wildlife communities with videos on the common flora and fauna found in our gardens, balconies and window boxes; accompanied by interesting and informative tasks, such as conducting a wildlife survey, and enjoying craft activities and games including wildlife bingo. I felt like a bit of a fraud joining the challenge as I wasn’t really an outdoors person at all, and just joined in as part of home-schooling my kids. I found I learned as much as they did, and the experience has been so enriching for myself and my kids. 30 Days Wild totally converted me and taught me and my family to pause for a minute, take in what’s around us, and do our bit for nature.”

We recommend that nestboxes are cleaned and old nests removed in the autumn. Ideally, do this from September onwards, but make sure the nest is no longer active – some species can nest right through September.
