We connect, protect and restore
Alongside communities nationwide, we connect people with wild places, campaign to protect those places, and restore and enhance land for the common good.
acres of wild land are cared for by the John Muir Trust, thanks to the support of Members and donors
We repair and enhance
Collaborating with local partners, we work towards landscape-scale restoration of natural processes; the expansion of native woodlands, the nurturing of rare mountain plants, and on footpath repair through some of the country's wildest places.
kilometres of coastal and mountain paths are maintained through our Wild Ways programme each year
We protect wild places
Wild places by their nature are fragile and sensitive to inappropriate land use. The Trust campaigns to protect wild places wherever needed and advocates for policy changes that benefit all life - plants, animals and humans.
times in recent years we've won or been commended in The Great Outdoors Award Campaigner of the year
We support natural climate solutions
The global climate and biodiversity crisis can feel overwhelming, but native woodland expansion, peatland restoration and improved land management hold the seeds of hope for our future.

We promote wildness for all
Wildness is not a place, it's an experience. We inspire and encourage people from all walks of life to enjoy, connect and care for wild nature and to get involved in direct, practical action to benefit themselves and their environment.
people have achieved their John Muir Award since its launch in 1997
We work in and with communities
Wild places need people: to connect with them, to care for them and to restore them. Since our launch in 1983, we have worked to repair the connections between people and place.
