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

IMPORTANT: Currently, we are making changes to how we run the John Muir Award, as follows:

  • We are currently unable to accept new Proposal Forms for the Award.
  • Any Proposal Forms that have already been received by the Trust will be reviewed and registered providing Criteria can be met and the Awards are intended to be completed by 1st September 2024.
  • We are no longer able to offer hard copy certificates upon Award completion. Instead, where registered participants have achieved the Award Criteria, we will only provide emailed electronic certificates (PDF format).

To support with questions you may have, please see our updated FAQs.

The John Muir Trust is committed to continuing its work to redesign and improve the John Muir Award, and our focus will be to develop a new Award which is expected to launch in 2025. We will be sharing updates on progress through the autumn and winter via our website and Award eBulletin – you can sign up to receive these here.
