John Muir Award
The John Muir Award is the engagement initiative of the John Muir Trust. It encourages people of all backgrounds to learn about the special attributes of wild places. The Award aims to help participants to connect with nature through the four areas: Discover, Explore, Conserve and Share.
Update as of January 2026
After a pause for redesign, the John Muir Award are now accepting proposals for the Wild Places Guardian level, previously known as the Discovery Award. Further levels, referred to as the Wild Places Protector and Wild Places Champion will be rolled out in due course.
We have helped lots of groups to complete their John Muir Awards in the past. If you are interested in completing the John Muir Award with our support then get in touch.

If your uniformed group is working towards an environmental badge we may be able to adapt one of our sessions to support your group to achieve their badge.
