Nature And Landscape

Connect Outdoors

Connecting with wild places has a profound impact on our mental and physical well-being. But many individuals face barriers to accessing these landscapes that embody the rich natural heritage of the UK. We want to change this. We want to help people connect with wild places, regardless of their background. Connect Outdoors is an educational hiking programme that inspires and educates. We want to show people new to the outdoors how they can interact with wild places, responsibly. Our mission is to introduce new people from under-represented communities to wild places through sustainable, educational, and empowering outdoor activity that inspires long-term engagement and care for this natural heritage. By fostering a deeper appreciation for our wild places and promoting sustainable outdoor activities, we envision a Scotland where outdoor adventure and exploration is sustainable and inclusive for a healthier and more equal society.
