Miles for the Wild 2026
Join our Autumn Appeal fundraising challenge
Walk, run or cycle to save threatened land and species
Date: 7 October – 6 November 2026
Take on our virtual Miles for the Wild challenge starting this October, joining Team WLT to collectively travel the 6,234 miles (10,033 km) between the two extraordinary conservation sites at the heart of our Autumn Appeal.
Set yourself a challenge and help us reach our fundraising target – whether you prefer to walk, run, cycle, or even swim, choose the activity that works for you.
Sign up by 6 October to receive an exclusive sneak peek of the two locations for this year’s appeal, and to have the funds you raise between 7 October and 6 November matched to double their value. That means a fundraising total of £100 will be matched to make a £200 contribution, doubling your impact towards our appeal fundraising target.

TRIBUTE FUNDS
Remember someone special by protecting the planet they loved.
Losing a loved one is never easy, but finding a meaningful way to honour their memory can help to bring some comfort and connection at a difficult time.
With a World Land Trust Tribute Fund, you can create a space where family and friends can come together to celebrate the life of someone special and a cause that was close their heart – sharing stories, photos and fond memories whilst raising vital funds to help protect the natural world.
A Tribute Fund can be used to collect In Memory donations and even sponsorship money if you’re participating in a fundraising event for World Land Trust.
Past Events
100 for the Planet
A challenge in celebration of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday
On 8 May 2026, Sir David Attenborough turned 100. To celebrate this remarkable milestone, we invited supporters to take on a personal challenge and fundraise for World Land Trust to help protect the wildlife and wild places he has devoted his life to.
Supporters showed their support in their own unique way—collecting 100 pieces of litter, spending 100 minutes walking in nature, or caring for animals in their community.
MILES FOR THE WILD 2025
Autumn Appeal fundraising challenge
Miles for the Wild is World Land Trust’s virtual Autumn Appeal fundraising challenge, where supporters walk, run, cycle, or swim to collectively travel a symbolic distance while raising funds for the Autumn Appeal.
In October 2025, supporters joined Team WLT to collectively cover 5,247 miles (8,445 km), travelling virtually from WLT’s office in Halesworth, England, to El Silencio in Colombia, the 2025 Autumn Appeal project and one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Participants set their own personal goals, tracked their progress via WLT’s Strava Club, and contributed to a shared team total.

‘RAINFOREST SAVIOUR’ TOBIAS
Fearless climber takes on Lake District peaks to raise £1,100 for the life of Borneo
“I decided to help protect the planet because it is being destroyed by people and it cannot save itself, and I learned that it’s easier to try fundraising than I thought”
WLT would like to extend a big thank-you to Tobias, the intrepid climber who took on more than 10 Lake District peaks during summer 2021 so that our partner HUTAN could extend a network of protected corridors of orangutan habitat in Borneo.
Tobias thought he’d raise £500 towards the protection of the Bornean rainforest he’d visited two years before – and yet he ended up raising £1,100 (or 220% of his target)! We at WLT thought our Borneo appeal would raise enough (£150,000) to save two plots of rainforest. Thanks to people like Tobias, the £420,000 we raised will save up to five.
Tobias and all our other supporters are the living proof: when we act to save nature, we make far more impact than we think.
