Wear your Wellies for Wildlife

Wear you Wellies for Wildlife – October 2010

Why not try something different this year – raising awareness and money for wildlife conservation and having lots of fun on the way! All you have to do to take part is organise an event yourself or with your school, community group or business, raise some much needed funds and most importantly “wear your wellies”!

It could be welly-Olympics with welly-wanging competitions and races or a welly-themed cake sale, or individuals could each give a small donation to wear their ‘wellies’ to school or work. They could also get all their family and friends to sponsor the event to raise even more money for the Trust’s conservation work.

Design a Wildlife Welly

Later this year, we will be introducing a 'Design a Wildlife Welly Competition' which we hope will be popular with local school children. All you have to do is design a welly using our welly template and enter your drawing into our welly-tastic competition! Winners will receive a family ticket to an exclusive Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust Badger Watching evening with special guest, and badger expert, Michael Clark. There will be two judging categories based upon age: 5-10 years and 11-15 years, and the winning 'Designer Wellies' will appear on our website! For full details, including terms and conditions, please download a competition form below.

So, whether plain green or brightly coloured, wearing your ‘wellies’ for wildlife is a great way to show that you care about conservation across Hertfordshire and Middlesex.
