About the event

This June, in celebration of 30 Days Wild, we are challenging fundraisers to celebrate, connect with, and take action for, nature and climate.

When it comes to protecting nature in our county, we need people to look at the bigger picture. To appreciate what our county has to offer, including the 50 beautiful Suffolk Wildlife Trust reserves (hotspots of biodiversity to seed nature’s recover), but also to recognise how much more has to be done to protect nature and climate.

On Saturday 7^th June 2025, you can take on the ultimate wild adventure by joining UK Parachuting's team of skydivers and, like a bird, sore through the sky.

12 seconds after leaving the plane, and taking flight, you will reach maximum speed as the air passes you by at 120mph.  Don’t forget to open your eyes and try to spot our beautiful nature reserves from Carlton Marshes outside Lowestoft and along the River Waveney to Worlingham Marshes, and maybe even post Redgrave & Lopham Fen. Follow the river and see how many you can spot as you experience the joy of flying.

After 30 seconds you will have obtained the memory of a lifetime.

What’s more, you’ll have helped to raise vital funds for Suffolk Wildlife Trust, enabling us to continue our work protecting wildlife, restoring nature, and tackling the climate crisis in Suffolk.
 

How it works

Visit: UK Parachuting. When you sign up, we ask that you pay a registration fee of £50pp and pledge to raise a minimum of £360pp in sponsorship via your own Suffolk Wildlife Trust Just Giving page, which you can set up here: Suffolk Wildlife Trust - JustGiving.

In return, Suffolk Wildlife Trust will pay the balance of your full jump cost (£230pp). There is an option to bear the full jump cost if you would like to do this.

Please note, funds for our charity our vital so we ask you to only register for this challenge if you feel confident you can reach the minimum fundraising target.  We hope you will strive for more!

It costs approximately £5,000 per day to protect, manage and maintain all of our nature reserves - and this is without the additional work we are doing to reclaim land and create new corridors for nature’s recovery. Every penny raised is vital to us
