10 Ways to Help Nature in 2026
Nature needs us now more than ever. And when we act together – in our homes, communities, workplaces and beyond – we can build a future where people and wildlife thrive.
From connecting with nature to speaking up for the planet, you can make a difference. Join a growing community of people who care just as much as you do and discover how your actions can ripple outward to help bring our world back to life.
1. Get your daily dose of nature
Spending time in nature does wonders for our wellbeing and helps strengthen our connection to the world we’re protecting. Explore 8 ways to get your daily dose of nature and while nature works wonders for our wellbeing, discover how to help restore nature too.
2. Join a Feel Good Forest Trail or WWF challenge event
We’ve teamed up with Forestry England to create joyful, curiosity sparking trails for families. Find a trail near you, and encourage your family and friends to join and reconnect with the outdoors together. If you’d like a challenge, sign up for our Big Winter Wander this February, or one of our other challenge events throughout the year that encourage you to get active whilst raising funds for nature.
3. Speak up for nature
Use your voice to influence change. Our ambassador Cel Spellman shares practical tips on how to contact your MP and make your voice heard. Explore more ways you can stand up for nature with WWF, including taking action in your community.
4. Know your impact
Knowing where you’re making the most impact on the environment means you can take steps to reduce your impact. Use our footprint calculator to find out. Then, check out our tips on sustainable living and try challenges to help track your progress on the MyFootprint app.

Every March, millions of people come together for one powerful hour to show they care about our planet’s future. Take part in WWF’s Earth Hour by switching off and taking action for nature.
