From the peat bogs and forests storing carbon and the rivers which bring water to our homes, to the green places in our towns and cities that give people a chance to fall in love with nature – we believe that all our lives are better if they’re a bit wild.

My Wild Life is The Wildlife Trusts campaign to collect and share short stories about why nature matters to people - have a look below. If you'd like to share your story and see it featured here please get in touch with us at campaigns@wildlifetrusts.org. If you use social media you can join in by sharing why nature matters to you and using #MyWildLife.
