A HAMPSHIRE trust is inviting residents to live life on the wildside for 30 days.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is once again running its "30 Days Wild" annual challenge, urging people to sign up to do a "random act of wildness" every day for 30 days in June.

The challenge has had more than a million participants to date with a record 650,000 people having taken part in 2020 alone.

Now though, the Trust is asking residents to do something new for 2021's event.

This year, the people of Hampshire are being asked to kick-start their challenge with a Big Wild Breakfast outdoors on June 1 where participants are challenged to see how much wildlife they can spot in half an hour.

In 2020, a five-year review of 30 Days Wild participants, run in conjunction with the University of Derby, found that people reported they felt happier and healthier from taking part, with positive effects lasting for up to two months afterwards.
