The Story So Far

The John Muir Award is an educational initiative of the John Muir Trust and they describe the scheme as follows:

The John Muir Award is an environmental award scheme focused on wild places.

It encourages you to be more aware of nature and wild places, and to take some responsibility for them - in a spirit of fun and adventure.

It does this by challenging you to Discover a wild place, actively Explore it, do something to Conserve it, and Share your experiences.

Leading up to starting the award, we attended a few general workshops which I blogged about here:


What Lives in this Habitat WWT Arundel -  23.10.14

How Do Birds Fly? WWT Arundel - 20.11.14

Migration WWT Arundel - 22.1.15


HERE is a link to the month by month breakdown of what the boys will be doing over the next few months to achieve their Conservation awards.

I decided to create this blog to keep all the resources in one place and track the boys activities and record their ideas and achievements.
