Great Big Green Week Blog

On the 10 June this year, it’s the start of the very exciting Great Big Green Week! This is all about climate change and nature, which fits in perfectly with our new RSPB Feel Good in Nature challenge pack.

So, what is the Great Big Green Week?

It’s the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Every year, people come together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet. Tens of thousands of people in every corner of the country celebrate the heartfelt, brave, everyday actions being taken to stand up for nature and fight climate change.

Last month, we asked you to share what you had been doing as part of our RSPB challenge pack and we had some lovely responses. From litter picking and gardening to outdoor cooking, you certainly have been busy!

A leader in Buckinghamshire shares, ‘’Making our Girlguiding Chesham Vale: Rainbows, Brownies, Guides & Rangers space more wildlife friendly …the girls loved it as well as collecting wood for our outdoor cooking the week before.’’

Another leader mentioned: ‘’We did the litter pick last week and are exploring our meeting area with our senses this evening.’’

Some of you even sent us some lovely pictures. Look at that amazing owl! And doesn’t that raised bed just look so tidy and colourful. Good job!

With over 3000 downloads on the website, the RSPB Feel Good in Nature challenge pack has been a hit so far! To get involved in the pack, you can find it in the RSPB resources or alternatively click here to download it. The pack is aimed to be inclusive to all diverse locations in the region and improve the wellbeing of girls by connecting them with nature. Once you have completed it, you will earn yourself an excited badge made by Queen’s Guides in our region!
