Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature

Throughout April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!

Join GoodGym for the Big River Watch – April 25th to May 1st!

GoodGym members, this is your chance to combine community action with citizen science! Our biannual Big River Watch is back, and we need your help to track river health across the UK and Ireland.

Taking part is simple and can be done during your runs, walks, or group missions:

✅ Download the free Big River Watch app (available in English and Welsh).

https://theriverstrust.org/take-action/the-big-river-watch?mc_cid=25d03f968c&mc_eid=e5f782890f&mc_cid=8e5d263ff3&mc_eid=e5f782890f

✅ Visit a local river near you. ✅ Complete a quick survey about what you see—pollution, wildlife, and more.

This year, we’re teaming up with Earthwatch’s Great UK WaterBlitz to gather even deeper insights into river conditions. If you want to take your impact further, you can test the water quality as part of the WaterBlitz after completing your survey.

💪 Every survey counts! Your contribution will help build a clearer picture of river health and support efforts to protect our waterways.

How can you get involved? • Solo: Incorporate a river visit into your run or walk and complete the survey. • Group Activity: Organize a GoodGym session around a local river and gather data together. • Mission: Pair it with a GoodGym task to maximize your positive impact!

📅 Mark your calendars: April 25th – May 1st!

Ready to make a difference? Download the app and take part! Let’s put our GoodGym energy to work for the environment.
