JOHN MUIR AWARD WEEKS -

WalkDeeside Ltd is delighted to be a John Muir Award Provider and itself has a Certificate of Acheivement from the John Muir Trust.

John Muir was a Scottish born man (1838-1914) who emigrated to North America at the age of 11yrs. It was here that he developed his love and fascination with wild places and, in particular, the mountains. He grew to become one of the pioneers of the conservation of wild and beautiful places. It was through his pressure on the Roosevelt and Wilson-led US Government that the first National Park was set up at Yellowstone.

The John Muir trust was set up in 1983 to remember him and to honour and carry on his ideals, through managing land areas to be conserved as wild places in Scotland and also through education in the form of courses, including the John Muir Award.

WalkDeeside Ltd Award Programmes use the format set out by the John Muir Trust and aim to educate, fulfil and invigorate in a fun and informal way. We follow the four challenges of an award programme:

1. Discover - a wild place
2. Explore - and learn about wild places
3. Conserve - a wild place
4. Share - your experiences
   

What your week includes:

•  A week with a qualified instructor to carry out the four aims
•  Accommodation and full board
•  An award certificate on completion
•  A fun, informative experience you won't forget!
