Haus oko embarks on the grand Wild Walk excursion
## Suffolk's Wildlife Conservation Efforts Shine in the Big Wild Walk
Suffolk, known for its rich biodiversity, has been actively promoting wildlife conservation through various initiatives. One such organisation, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, manages nature reserves and encourages wildlife-friendly activities, including events like the "Wild Families" series [1][3].
This year, the spotlight was on the Big Wild Walk, an annual fundraising challenge that invites businesses, families, and individuals to walk a set distance of 30km. Though specific details about the event were not readily available, it appears that the okoHaus team enthusiastically participated in this year's walk [2].
The okoHaus team, known for their commitment to sustainability, aimed to incorporate eco-friendly solutions in all their services [8]. Their participation in the Big Wild Walk further solidified this commitment, as they donated £1 for every kilometre each team member walked during the challenge. This year, they raised an impressive £615 for the Suffolk Wildlife Trust [5].
The Big Wild Walk proved to be more than just a physical challenge for the okoHaus team. It was an educational experience that fostered a greater understanding of their natural surroundings [10]. As they walked through various locations across Suffolk, including woods, footpaths, school fields, the river Orwell, and fields around the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, they encountered diverse wildlife, such as caterpillars, butterflies, and creatures around Rendlesham Forest [9].
The Big Wild Walk was a significant highlight of 2024 for the okoHaus team, building upon their previous year's donation of £137 [6]. The event not only served as a means of raising funds for wildlife conservation but also as a platform for community engagement and team-building [7].

While the Big Wild Walk may not be a familiar name to many, its impact on wildlife conservation in Suffolk cannot be understated. The event, along with other conservation activities like the Wild Families Events, RSPB Minsmere, and Dunwich Heath and Walberswick, collectively support the conservation efforts in Suffolk by engaging the community and promoting environmental stewardship.
