Our Mission
Our Mission
To lead change by nurturing the skills needed to create, restore, maintain and improve places for wildlife.
To influence behaviour through our motivational outdoor experiences of the natural world and wildlife.
To change lives by connecting people to nature and thereby improving their health and wellbeing.
Changing lives
Changing lives
We lead change by working with others to form collectives that plan, resource and deliver sustainable community-based projects that benefit people and wildlife.
We influence behaviour by planning and delivering courses and workshops about ecology, conservation, countryside skills and rural crafts that are of community interest.
We change lives by creating, restoring, maintaining and improving habitats for wildlife and conserving natural green places and historic landscapes for people.
Growing wild
Growing wild
Wilding is a concept of making space for nature and encouraging wildlife back to the landscape. It is restoring natural processes to our countryside, reviving degraded habitats, reintroducing depleted or missing species and allowing our ecosystems to become naturally self-regulating again.
Nature is comprised of an intricate web of interactions that enrich our lives, help nourish the natural environment and give our planet a greater capacity to cope with human impact. We encourage our learners to grow wild plants, give wildlife a chance and relax control so that they make space for nature.
Learning outdoors
Learning outdoors
We promote outdoor learning as a way to discover, engage with and learn about the natural world and wildlife. Our learning experiences will nurture your skills and help you change behaviours through direct engagement with the natural world.
We help communities, groups, families and individuals reflect about themselves, learn about each other and connect with nature. The motivating experiences you have with us will be a catalyst for your learning, personal development, health and well-being.
