Day 30: share what you love about doing 30Days Wild. We love being outside on dog walks: seeing something new, being fascinated by a different plant, discovering a special insect, hearing a new bird call, there’s always a treasure that nature gives you every time you step outside and we have loved documenting it every day of June 2024 with 30dayswild

Day 29: share what you love about being in nature - we love the smells of the fragrant blossom, at the moment the Small-leaved lime trees smell gorgeous near our home. The digital world is a great way for us to see & hear wildlife but it can’t recreate the smells, you need to actually be there to sense that. Obviously the dog knows that & that’s why we walk not only for the exercise but also for the smells 👃🐽🐕

28/06/2024

Day 28: what smells do you like in nature? I love the smell of Pineapple W**d: just squeeze the flower head and smell the lovely fragrance. The dog of course loves loads of smells, I don’t think he’s bothered by Pineapple w**d though!

27/06/2024

Day 27: what makes you smile in nature? Coming across plants that I don’t expect to see, like these Pyramidal Orchid & Common Spotted Orchid, neither which are that common anymore

26/06/2024

Day 26: share what you love about nature. We love learning & sharing that knowledge with others. DYK that moths have amazing names often named after their markings. This one is known as Heart and Dart (❤️ & 🎯). Other species names we love include Mother Shipton, Angle Shades, Chimney Sweeper & Autographa Gamma - fabulous

25/06/2024

Day 25: read a nature book. There are loads out there to suit all tastes. The Trees & Woodland one mentions several Suffolk local sites that the dog & I have enjoyed visiting

24/06/2024

Day 24: Do Tai Chi in nature. Tai chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. Unfortunately the dog is not ready for Tai Chi yet as he is only just 2 years old & full of bounce on our walks, but maybe in his quieter moments we could try a few moves!

23/06/2024

Day23: find ways to reduce your negative climate impacts. At Animal Aiders we reuse packaging for our orders from our online shop & if we do use new packaging we make it plastic free by using gummed brown tape & cardboard

23/06/2024

Day 22: campaign for nature. Went to rally. Amazing atmosphere & over 80,000 people wanting to have our voices heard about nature & wildlife in parliament square

23/06/2024

Day21: put up a home for wildlife. Hedgehog houses are a great way to create a habitat for our local wildlife. Even if hedgehogs don’t visit, spiders, woodlice & other invertebrates will!

23/06/2024

Day 20: help reduce plastic reaching our seas. DYK that 12 million tonnes of plastic enters our seas every year? And that 80% of that comes from our land? Therefore ensuring you do not litter & reducing the plastic we use is a great way to reduce this plastic pollution. Also volunteering in your community by litter picking is a great way to help & we have litter pickers available in our village & amazing volunteers who do this. If you’d like to do that in your village, town or city, contact your local authority who should be able to lend out litter picking equipment to you

23/06/2024

Day 19: support a wildlife based campaign. The Wildlife Trusts are campaigning for our political candidates to speak up about what they’ll do for nature if elected. We’re based n Suffolk, but your local wildlife trust will also have a general election webpage. At Suffolk Wildlife Trust, they have written manifestos for nature for each of our constituencies. You can click on a link on the Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s webpage, which helps you to write to your candidates about your concerns about nature, visit the page to find out more

23/06/2024

Day 18: plant wildlife friendly food. Herbs such as sage & lavender are loved by our pollinators, so planting them in our gardens is a great way to help nature & flavour our food at the same time. These plants are also dog friendly so ok to have in our gardens

23/06/2024

Day17: put water out for wildlife. We put out a shallow tray & dish for birds, insects & mammals. Beau likes to have a drink from them too!

23/06/2024

Day16: Do a quiz. Whose feather is this?

23/06/2024

Day15: Big Wild Weekend. Today the dog & I went running & saw some White campion & Hedge woundwort that the mower has kindly left to bloom. Hedgehog woundwort has been used across many countries in traditional medicine as a cure all: for cuts, boils, pain, joint ache, anti spasmodic & as a sedative. A recent study has shown it has antiviral & antibacterial action

23/06/2024

Day13: do some sport outside. Exercising with your dog by running with them or even working out at an outdoor gym while they sit & sniff about is a great way to bond with each other

23/06/2024

Day 11: picnic in the sun or dance in the rain. It rained & rained today, so no picnic for us. But rain doesn’t stop walks 🐕‍🦺

23/06/2024

Day10: Work outside in nature. Working outside in nature is a great way to add inspiration to your day. We volunteer for a local botany group by surveying a site for rare plants. Volunteering in this way adds variety to our day. The Red Setter is a great companion on these volunteering trips as dogs are also allowed on this site & he gets to sniff different smells from his normal walks

23/06/2024

Day9: Wildlife Gardening. Today the lawn was mown after No Mow May. We’ll mow again in 4weeks time, as this maximises pollen & nectar production of a lawn. We’ve also left a long area so insects can still enjoy tall wildflowers

23/06/2024

Day8: World Oceans Day. Ok it’s not an ocean but hear is our garden pond instead& we are delighted it’s got at least 5 baby newts in it!

23/06/2024

Day7: Watch a wildlife we**am. We’ve been watching a Red Squirrel cam, not a lot has been happening, but there’s some footage of them feeding earlier

23/06/2024

Day 5: World Environment Day. One way as dog owners to make our environment better, is to pick up our dog’s poo & then take the poo bag home. Biodegradable poo bags leak microplastics into the environment, so it’s no good leaving those bags in the environment just because they break down quicker than normal plastic ones. Let’s be responsible & take the poo bag home

23/06/2024

Day 4: Find out about slugs & snails. Red Setter meets Red Slug, A***n Rufus. These large slugs are mainly nocturnal but do come out when it rains

23/06/2024

Day 3: Hug a tree 🌳 Red Setter under a Red Oak 💚

23/06/2024

Day 2: we found this fabulous moth, known as “The Snout” 🐽

Just got back from doing 3 courses this weekend. Thanks to Leicester Animal Aid & Centre Paws Norfolk for hosting a Dog First Aid course each & a Cat First Aid Course at Leicester Animal Aid. It was great to hear about people’s experiences & we loved delivering our courses to the attendees. Can’t wait to return to these venues later in the year

29/04/2024

A massive thank you to in Brick End for hosting our Dog First Aid Course yesterday. Not only were the humans brilliant but also the little canines who came along. The dogs slept while the people learnt in a fun & relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to Rhiannon & team for a lovely morning

03/03/2024

Delighted to be at Dogs Enriched today with Wickford Flyball Club doing a Dog First Aid Course. This venue is a great place to bring your dog for a different positive experience. See their website for details. Thank you to Sue from Wickford Flyball for booking us 🙏

We’re in Chingford today with CHeWs Dog Training Club. Thanks to Sarah & the team for hosting this afternoon course. We love coming here as they are always welcoming & friendly & and a laugh is never very far away! CHeWs provide a fantastic service for the local community of dog owners in this part of London. It’s a pleasure to think of the many people we have trained here over the 9 years we have been coming here

#30dayswild Day14: Visit a Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve. Our nearest one with a visitor centre is #swtlackfordlakes. The cuckoo was still singing this week. Such a beautiful place to experience tranquility & peace #animalaiders

#30dayswild Day12: Mindfulness in nature. This evening we visited a nearby estate that’s managed in a wildlife friendly way. It’s one of our favourite places for a dog walk. Today we stopped for a few minutes by a gate for a mindful moment. Taking a few minutes to listen to the sounds around us on our dog walks add to the enjoyment of this special time with our dogs #animalaiders
