#KidsNeedNature Tweetstorm 1st June 2016 7:00 - 9:00 BST

Thank you for your interest in our #KidsNeedNature Tweetstorm.

This is an online event with a difference! We are hoping that tonight's finale to the #KidsNeedNature campaign will deliver a range of positive outcomes:

1. Demonstrate the POWER of TEAMWORK! Over 2,000 users on twitter worked together during our last #StandByNature tweetstorm, delivering over 30 million messages, and, together, we are hoping to demonstrate a similar positive force this evening.

2. Raise awareness of the importance of nature to human health and happiness, by sharing links to the academic studies, that evidence this link. Large sections of the media are failing to get this important message out so it is left to AWESOME individuals like YOU to get the facts out there to a wide audience!.

3. Increase awareness of and interaction with amazing wildlife charities that can help connect children and families to nature across thousands of reserves and other green spaces.

4. Provide a range of educational resources to help parents and schools connect children with nature, making their lives happier and healthier.

5. Raise awareness of wildlife gardening as a healthy and fun way to bring nature closer to children and families.

6. Increase the number of families that connect with nature by signing up to 30 Days Wild and receiving inspirational nature packs from The Wildlife Trusts.

7. Passion and teamwork may well result in the hashtags #KidsNeedNature & #30DaysWild trending on Twitter tonight.


As well as copying our suggested tweets (below), you can create your own to show the beauty of nature and it's importance to child development and human health. For those that have completed the first day of 30 Days Wild, it will also be a great chance to share your wild experiences and images, using the #30DaysWild and #KidsNeedNature hashtags.

To increase the power of tonight's event you can  SIGN UP NOW to the #KidsNeedNature thunderclap which will launch at 7pm tonight in the middle of the tweetstorm. It is completely free and safe to join. Please SHARE it with others, but remember the thunderclap ends tonight!



Thank you so much for your interest and we look forward to seeing you in the storm tonight between 7pm and 9pm BST. Please enjoy the two hours, knowing that YOU are helping to change the world for good!
