‘12 Days Wild’ is the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust’s heart-warming Christmas challenge encouraging people to do one wild thing a day from the December 25 to the January 5.

A mini, festive version of summer’s 30 Days Wild, the 12 Days Wild challenge is a reminder that even during the longest days and darkest nights, the natural world has amazing things to offer.
