The John Muir Award encourages people of all backgrounds to connect with, enjoy and care for wild places. 

The Trust's John Muir Award is an environmental award scheme focused on wild places. It is inclusive, accessible and non-competitive, though should challenge each participant.  The Award encourages awareness and responsibility for the natural environment through a structured yet adaptable scheme, in a spirit of fun, adventure and exploration. 

Child-led learning and a relaxed approach allows children to learn at their own pace and focus on their interests. They can choose to learn through essential play discovering the equipment, trails and exciting things dotted around the woods to engage their imagination.
