The National Trust is a delivery partner for the John Muir Award in Wales and England.
The John Muir Award encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to discover, enjoy and conserve the planet’s wild places.
The John Muir Award includes four challenges: discover, explore, conserve and share:
- Discover
Identify a wild place, or places on which to focus your activity. This can be a park, beach, school grounds, nature reserve or any other wild place that’s local, national or international.
- Explore
Tune into a place, and travel extensively within it to explore its natural and wild characteristics. You might explore this place by walking, camping or canoeing, by using your senses, by sitting quietly, conducting nature surveys, going on or leading a guided walk.
- Conserve
Take some personal responsibility for the conservation and protection of this wild place. Practical action might be a clean-up, nature survey, tree planting or path building.
- Share
Let people know about your experiences, through displays, photo albums, presentations, articles and poems for newsletters, guided walks, discussions, web pages.
