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!
Trash haunts us all when we see it out in nature. Let's keep nature Boo-tiful and litter-free this October! Find sustainable swaps for Halloween decor, pick up litter when you see it out and about, thrift or DIY your Halloween costumes, try to cook with or compost with your pumpkins, and recycle what you can!
This beautiful planet gives us so much joy and sustenance - let's give thanks to her this month. Shop at a local farmers market, give up plastic bags for grocery shopping, remove litter from outdoor spaces you come across and invite friends, family or community members to join you in giving back to Mother Nature!
Winter months are hard to pick up all the trash that may be buried underneath, but the planet still needs us do-gooders! Snow sports can create a lot of debris and litter - let's do what we can! Pick up litter, sled debris, and toys when you see it, find sustainable holiday gift wrapping swaps, look for natural holiday decorations and skip the plastic single-use utensils and dishes for those you have on hand at home.
In 2023 we want to be part of the solution. Let's come together to care for the planet in a big way! Let's set a few intentions on how to make our lives just a little more eco-friendly, recycle products that we can, have conversations at our workplaces or homes on taking one sustainable step, pick up litter when you see it and invite someone who has never picked up litter to join you!

This page’s goal is to be a one-stop-shop to give you ideas, provide you with assets, or give you some inspiration on how you can talk about being a Wild Keeper Ambassador on social media. The kit includes:
• Example Impact Day posts
• Reading / Resources

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!

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.
