Backcountry Survival Ltd are proud providers of the John Muir Discovery Award.

What is the John Muir Discovery Award?

“The John Muir Award is an environmental award scheme focused on wild places. It supports people to connect with, enjoy and care for nature, landscape, and the
natural environment – wild places.”

What time do you have to commit?

To complete the John Muir Discovery Award you have to do 4 days or 25hrs+.

What do you have to do?

To achieve a John Muir Award, each participant must

• Meet four Challenges – Discover, Explore, Conserve, Share.
• Complete the required minimum time commitment
• Show enthusiasm and commitment towards their involvement.
• Have an awareness of John Muir.
• Understand what the John Muir Award is and why they are participating.

The four challenges could see individuals:

Discover a wild space.

Explore their wild space.

Conserve their wild space.

Share their wild space.

The four challenges will have participants not only develop their knowledge about the great outdoors but also provide them with hands on experience with conserving and protecting nature. Alongside this, participants will also be taught bushcraft and survival skills.
