Wild Things - Environmental Education in Action

Wild Things is an award winning environmental education charity working in Moray, Aberdeenshire and the Highlands. Since 2003, Wild things! has enabled over 13,000 children, young people and adults to learn from and be inspired by their local natural environment and the remote wilderness regions of Scotland. We believe that conservation efforts are significantly more effective if people get to know their local natural environment through exciting, stimulating and hands on activities that provide the opportunity for them to understand, appreciate and care for the natural environment whilst acquiring new skills, confidence and interests. Our programmes encourage a mutually beneficial relationship between individuals and their natural environment: we provide the opportunity for our participants to understand, appreciate and care for the natural environment whilst at the same time acquiring new skills, confidence and interests. We work in partnership with a range of organisations providing extra support for young people considered ‘at risk’ or who are struggling within mainstream education as well as vulnerable adults. Whilst based in Scotland, Wild things! delivers programmes and activities across the UK.
