Wild Keepers are on a mission to pick up trash outside, make a positive impact on the outdoor spaces that we enjoy, have fun doing it as a part of a larger community of Wild Keepers, and inspire others to do the same.
Once you've been accepted as a Wild Keeper Ambassador, you do not need to re-apply for any upcoming terms as long as you follow all requirements (review the requirements here).
If being an ambassador no longer suits you, no problem! Just direct message a mentor or Bri in Slack.
Impact Days are once a month.
On these days, Wild Keeper Ambassadors flood Instagram with the positive impact you’ve been making throughout the past month.
Each Impact Day, there are (optional) Impact Day Themes to get your creative juices flowing (check them out below!) and Impact Day Giveaways as a special thank you for all the hard work you put in to help keep nature wild.
You don't have to pickup trash on Impact Day
you just need to postyour impact photo on Impact Day!

Pick up trash at any point before or on Impact Day (at a park, neighborhood, trail, urban area, anywhere!)
Snap a fun photo of you and your trash haul to save and post on Impact Day!
You can do this precisely with an scale or guesstimate your weight. A KNW trash bag weighs between 5-15 lbs depending on micro trash or regular, bulky trash!
Grab your super-cute Impact Day photo from your cleanup! Always include these hashtags in your post: #impactday + #keepnaturewild + #wildkeepers so we can help celebrate your impact!
Use the caption to talk about why it's important to Keep Nature Wild! For inspo, check out the Wild Keeper Social Media Kit or use the monthly Impact Day theme below!
IMPORTANT: Record your impact on the Impact Form—this is the only way we know how much trash you actually picked up!
Let's take care of our ultimate Mother - Mother Earth! With Mother's Day this month, let's celebrate them hand in hand through nurturing your outdoor spaces by picking up litter, plant a garden, plant attractors to bring in butterflies and pollinators, recycle what you can and use reusable bottles instead of plastic!
Calling all Nature Lovers! Our 30 Day Challenge was such a success, we wanted to share this theme with you too. Take some time to go out this month and observe native and invasive species in your area. Look up the native plants in your area and ones that are not meant to be there. Research what an invasive species is and why it is so dangerous to your surrounding natural spaces! What to do this month? Research your close surroundings and what a native v. invasive species is, plant a native species, volunteer to remove invasive species, soak up an outdoor space near you by justbeing outside! A deep breath in an outdoor space is important! Remove litter from outdoor spaces, these plants and ecosystems will thank you!
Let’s show some love to our local water sources and ways to be more mindful and sustainable. Look up where your local water comes from, how far away from you is it? How far does your water source travel to get you what you need? How much water does your area use for agriculture, landscaping, pools and more? Let’s think of ways to sustain our water:Plant a rain garden for catching stormwater runoff from your roof, driveway, and other hard surfaces, Use a low flow shower head and faucet aerators, turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth, use pasta/cooking water to water your plants, use reusable water bottles and let’s not forget — picking up litter when we see it so it doesn’t wind up in our local waterways and ultimately, our oceans!
It’s our birthday month and we want to celebrate all the good vibes we get from getting out in nature and doing good! For SIX years we’ve been leading cleanups, inspiring community and getting outside to leave nature better than we found it — together. SIX years of volunteerism, picking up litter and making fun apparel to go with it. We wouldn’t be here without you all. Let’s celebrate together by picking up at least SIX pounds of trash this month, eating your favorite dessert or treat for us, joining a cleanup (or hosting your own!) and taking an intentional minute outdoors to say “thank you” to these beautiful spaces we get to explore.
Our publics lands offer us spaces to camp, bike, hike, kayak, picnic, rollerskate, climb, run… we can enjoy these beautiful areas in so many different ways. With this access also comes responsibility, and we want to take this month to care for these public lands that offer us so much. Learn more about the public lands in your area, sign up to volunteer locally to give back, pick up litter from public spaces you enjoy and frequent and invite your friends and family to join you!

The role of a Mentor is to be there to answer any questions that Wild Keeper Ambassadors may have. Wild Keeper Mentors have been in the program for multiple terms and know the ins and outs of being a Wild Keeper - they’re here for ya! Mentors also help the KNW team to monitor the different channels within Slack.
To contact a Mentor, reach out in the “#help-ask-a-mentor” channel and one of our many helpful Mentors will get back to you!

Please shoot a direct message to "Bri at KNW" in Slack!
Read these guidelines before heading out to pick up trash and keep them in the back of your mind!
Your safety matters to us!🙌
Whenever you pick it up! We just ask that you pick up and record your impact at least once a month. You don’t have to wait until Impact Day, but you can. Your call!
Good question… The best place to put it is in the dumpster bagged and tied up - it’s not great, but it’s better than having it out in the wild. If you can, separate out any recyclables you’ve picked up and throw them in the recycling bin (check your local recycling guidelines first, though! They’re different everywhere.)
Use hashtags #wildkeepers, #keepnaturewild, and #impactday on your monthly Impact Day Instagram Posts!
No! Pick up trash whenever works for you. We just ask that you post about the impact you are making on Impact Day.
Nope! Do what you can. Some days you might pick up bags full, some days you might pick up a handful. It all adds up and it all makes a difference!
Definitely not. Use what you've got! If that happens to be a KNW biodegradable trash bag, that's great. If not, that's great, too. The trash is what matters!
You don't, the impact you're making is the #1 priority! But we do encourage it if you have some - we just love to see this community in their KNW gear :)
You'll find this term's Wild Keeper discount in the #knw-important-info channel in Slack!
There is! You all have a unique a discount code you can share with your friends and family to give them $10 off a $50 purchase and earn $10 for yourself for each successful referral! This perk is run through the KNW rewards program. To login or sign up + share your referral code, head here.
Nope! We want you to stick around! All Wild Keeper Ambassadors role over into the next term unless you tell us you want to opt-out.
Have them join you on your cleanups for now anyway! And then encourage them to apply when applications open again for the next term :)
