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

September 2024 update

We have temporarily paused the John Muir Award whilst we focus on the redesign, ready for a relaunch in March 2025.

As we celebrate 25 years of the John Muir Award, we are excited to refresh it - building on its success, ensuring it remains relevant for the future.

Our goal is to align the Award more closely with our wider work - demonstrating its positive impact on people and wild places. We also aim to better articulate its value, foster lasting connections with participants, providers and partners, and strengthen advocacy efforts for the protection of wild places.

We hope that you will join us in delivering the refreshed Award and inspire people to help conserve, protect and restore wild places.
