Learn, organise, collaborate and act to protect your local green spaces and natural environment!
Dip in to the survey here!
If you want to improve your wildlife knowledge, learn how to act against damaging activities in your local area, strengthen your grassroots action group or gain practical conservation and ecology skills, we want to hear from you!
Over the coming year, we’re offering all sorts of ways you can learn and get involved in action to protect local wildlife: including walks, talks, training, networking events and volunteering.
This project is funded by Natural Resources Wales Resilient Communities Fund.
This project is part of ‘Team Wilder’
To have a lasting impact on our natural world, we need Welsh Policy to work for wildlife, so that the laws we have in place to protect our environment and its sustainability for future generations do just that. And we need far more people to connect with and take action for wildlife. If 1 in 4 people convert their enthusiasm for wildlife into action to protect it, we will reach a tipping point and real change will happen.
One in four people acting for wildlife is an incredibly big goal, but momentum is building and it can be achieved. There’s great strength in the committed support of a growing network of hundreds of organisations, community groups and thousands of people in diverse communities working for nature’s recovery in their own communities. Our approach now is to focus our efforts on supporting and empowering communities and individuals to undertake actions for nature in their local area. We’re reaching far beyond our traditional audiences, including working with younger people (through the Stand for Nature Wales project), urban communities (such as through Nextdoor Nature) and people who are newer to nature. We call this Team Wilder!”
We want to support more community champions, volunteers and grassroots organisations by delivering or facilitating training events, developing resources and facilitating networking and collaboration.
