BBC wildlife presenter Rhys Jones is supporting a new campaign to get people connected to nature.

This June, Gwent Wildlife Trust and trusts around the UK are asking everyone do something wild every day for a month.

Everyone who signs up to The Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild will receive a pack full of encouragement, ideas and 'Random Acts of Wildness'. They will also receive a wall chart to track progress, a wild badge, and regular blasts of inspiration throughout June straight to their inbox to help everyone make nature part of their lives.

A generation of children are growing up disconnected from nature so to get children and adults reconnected The Wildlife Trust is asking people to invent their own 'Random Acts of Wildness' or use the online list for inspiration – these acts are everyday ways to connect with nature or help wildlife. One simple example could be putting wild sounds onto your phone and making them your ringtone – you'll be transported back to the wild every time you get a call. Alternatively you could share a close encounter with a favourite species by taking a friend along to a Wildlife Trust event.

Share progress and ideas using #30DaysWild or join the Gwent Wildlife Trust's Facebook group.

TV presenter Rhys Jones is looking forward to taking part in the 30 day challenge. He said: "This month get outside and enjoy the beautiful wildlife we have here in Wales. Wildlife and wild places are closer than you think so explore local parks, nature reserves or churchyards.

"Join us for 30 Days Wild and find your wild life."
