Researchers have shown that spending time outside is good for mental health, reducing stress, increasing creativity and increasing our connection with nature.In fact, spending time in nature is so good for you that in Japan it's known as Shinrin-Yoko Forest Therapy, which means 'forest bathing' - we love the sound of that!If you do too, then why not get involved in #30DaysWild, a brilliant idea by The Wildlife Trusts that aims to get all of us outside and enjoying (and helping) nature every day in June.They've even got a free pack you can get to help everyone at home, your school or your work involved, so there are no excuses.To get you started on your wild adventure, we've put together a list of ways to get wild this June.
