What will I be doing?

On the John Muir Award, you’ll spend time in a wild place, discovering its landscapes, wildlife and history, exploring it through activities like walking, observing, creative projects or bushcraft, taking practical action to care for it, such as litter picks, tree planting or creating habitats, and then sharing your experiences through journals, photos, art or storytelling. The award encourages you to connect with nature, enjoy the outdoors, conserve the environment and reflect on your journey.
