Wilderness Foundation UK

Homepage

Dedicated to preserving the last of the worlds wild place, the Wilderness Foundation UK nurtures understanding of the value of wilderness to the health of the individual, society and the planet.

For over 30 years, WFUK has been connecting people with wild places through its pioneering programme of initiatives, including wilderness trails and social projects in Europe and Africa.

Every year, we help individuals and groups experience the irreplaceable quality of wilderness as a positive force for social and environmental sustainability.  They benefit from natures significant contribution to the discovery of identity, perspective as well as leadership training and development.

In addition to the trails and social projects, WFUK continues to research the positive impact of wilderness working in partnership to create an international network of wilderness advocacy and protection.

Here are just some of the hightlights of the Foundations activity:

Education and Leadership

Direct experience of nature rekindles deep connections with the natural world inspiring incredible journeys of self development.  WFUKs personalised wilderness trails transform lives from schoool and community groups to corporate and political leaders.

Health and Wellbeing, Peace and Reconciliation

The wilderness experience is a powerful tool for social and individual change.  WFUK works with vulnerable young people, victims of conflict and communities facing health and social challenges across Europe and Africa.  We cross religious and political divides and bring people together in wilderness where a sesne of nature, common humanity, undertstanding and existence come to the fore.

Wilderness Therapy

Wilderness Therapy is a positive experience where individuals develop through their contact with nature and adventure.  A range of experiential therapeutic programmes take place in a natural, wild or remote outdoor setting.

We work for wilderness, wildlife and people.
