Wild things! Environmental Education in Action

General information

Wild things! is a Scottish environmental education charity seeking to provide wilderness and nature experiences for all regardless of learning, physical or financial challenges.

For over 10 years, Wild things! has successfully delivered quality outdoor learning experiences that encourage a greater custodianship of the outdoors, as well as opportunities for life-changing personal development. Over 10,000 children, young people and adults have benefited from opportunities to learn from, and be inspired by, their local natural environment and the remote wilderness regions of Scotland.

We have developed a range of programmes that encourage a “mutually beneficial relationship” between individuals and their natural environment. 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.

We work with all ages and abilities, from eager five year olds to elderly adventurers, providing outdoor education through school programmes and holiday camps, weekend escapes and accredited skills courses.

Wild things! will continue to provide the opportunity for all individuals to get out into nature for the benefit of their personal wellbeing as well as for the benefit of the natural environment.
