Nature's 30-day blast at Lackford!
In the heart of June, the UK's largest nature challenge, 30 Days Wild, took place. Organised by The Wildlife Trust, the initiative encourages individuals to connect with nature daily, performing various activities throughout the month. Lucy Wood, our author, joined the movement, combining her work and home life for a nature-filled journey[1][2].
Lucy decided to keep her 30 Days Wild experience simple, aiming to show that anyone can participate in this exciting initiative[1]. She harvested her first home-grown strawberries, a small victory in her quest to appreciate the beauty of nature[1]. Inspired by the Suffolk show stand, she also created a mini pond at home, providing a haven for local wildlife[1].
However, Lucy's blog post does not delve into the details of her barefoot dance in the rain, tree hugging, or bug and flower hunts. These experiences were part of her journey, but she chose to focus on sharing the broader aspects of her 30 Days Wild experience[2].
The author also attended the nature summit and the Lowestoft's first light festival, but these events were not the main focus of her blog post[2]. Instead, the published piece serves as a reflection of her 30 Days Wild journey, offering insights into her participation in the initiative[2].
Lucy's blog post was published on the Internships platform, inviting readers to join her in appreciating the wonders of nature and perhaps even taking part in next year's 30 Days Wild challenge[3].

Lucy transformed her home and garden into an outdoor living space, creating a home-grown strawberry patch and a mini pond to support local wildlife during her 30 Days Wild journey. Reflecting on her experience, Lucy's blog post also highlighted the importance of incorporating a lifestyle that promotes daily connections with nature, inviting her readers to join in next year's challenge.
