National Trust launches ‘Wild Senses’ campaign to reignite nature connection this autumn - National Trust

As the days grow shorter and colder, the National Trust is calling on the public to resist the seasonal retreat indoors and instead embrace the sensory richness of autumn through its new nationwide campaign, ‘Wild Senses’.

Launching after last night’s first episode of Hamza’s Hidden Wild Isles - the BBC’s new nature series co-produced by the National Trust and The Open University - the campaign urges people to step outside and reconnect with the natural world on their doorstep.

The series presented and narrated by wildlife expert and cameraman Hamza Yassin, celebrates the UK’s seasonal biodiversity and encourages viewers to notice, appreciate and reconnect to everyday wildlife, even in urban environments.

“Sometimes in our cities it might seem like there isn't any nature,” says Hamza Yassin. “But if you just take a little minute, you'll be amazed at what you can find. Autumn is one of my favourite times of year. Stepping into nature or simply sitting outside and letting nature come to you can really raise your spirits which makes it vitally important to make sure we all get out to enjoy nature all the year round.”
