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 for a month from 7 October and help us reach our target – whether you prefer to walk, run, cycle, or even swim, choose the activity that works for you and do as much or as little as you like. All abilities are welcome, and every mile will make a huge difference.
Raise money for every mile
Every mile you log will help Team WLT travel the 6,234 miles between this appeal’s two reserves and every pound you raise will help to expand critical habitat for highly threatened wildlife. Together we can go the distance for land and species!
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.
Why not aim to match your distance in pounds? For example, raise £1 for every mile or km you do. This would raise £100 for every 100 miles you complete.
Every pound you raise will help to expand and restore incredible habitat and save the wild homes of endangered species through our Autumn Appeal.
Remember, if you sign up by 6 October your fundraising total will be matched to double its value!
Sign up today, get moving for nature, and track each mile along the way.
