How did the John Muir Trust engage with young people during 2018?

  • Listened to young people through workshops and events
  • Co-designed #TheBrawOutdoorQuestion youth nature survey to better understand nature connections
  • Recruited young people as conservation officers on John Muir Trust properties
  • Supported over 1,500 UK organisations to deliver over 120,000 John Muir Awards to young people since 2016 (exceeding #iwill pledge target)
  • Enhanced partnerships with organisations to put nature connection at heart of youth work
  • Shared young people’s voices about wild places through stories and films
  • Collated research and feedback, information on initiatives, and stories to highlight ways that young people can, and do, take practical action for nature

What are we continuing to do?

  • Inspire, inform and empower young people through the John Muir Award across the UK
  • Ensure young people involvement in land management through Trust’s conservation officer programme
  • Support existing and pilot new Junior Ranger programmes on Trust properties
  • Develop online communications and social media platforms to engage young people - see ReRoute Recommendations
  • Include young people as a stakeholders in decision making and co-design opportunities

The discussion around young people and nature engagement continues. Have a look around the Young People & Nature webpages to find out more and see recent updates.
