Philanthropy and major giving have the power to transform the future of the UK’s wild places.
The John Muir Trust is the UK charity dedicated to the protection of wild places. Through our work we protect and restore wild landscapes, stand up for them through policy and advocacy, and help people experience and care for these extraordinary places.
Your generosity helps ensure wild places can thrive – now and for generations to come.
Your philanthropy helps:
Land management
We care for wild places through conservation and restoration projects across our land, including native woodland regeneration, peatland restoration, deer management, biodiversity monitoring and the removal of invasive non-native species.
Community engagement
We help people of all backgrounds connect with and care for wild places, from volunteers on our land to participants in the John Muir Award.
Policy and advocacy
We stand up for wild places by influencing planning decisions and shaping policy at all levels of government.

What our major donors say:
The Ben Nevis area holds a lifetime of memories for me, and I feel privileged to help the Trust safeguard it for future generations.
- John Young
Supporting the Trust feels like a meaningful way to give back to the wild places that bring me so much joy and peace.
- Goff Cantley
As wild places become rarer, I’ve come to see their preservation as one of the most important challenges of our time. The John Muir Trust stands at the heart of that mission and I feel privileged to support its work in caring for the landscapes that mean so much to me.
- Mike Crompton
We were delighted to be able to support [the Trust's] activity closer to home in Glenlude, especially as it has the potential to expose many people to both the beauty of wild places and the value of their restoration.
