Calling all nature lovers! Would you like to do something positive for nature with your community? Would you like support to help make your vision a reality? 

Whether you're a fully fledged group or just starting out, the Wildlife Champions Programme is a free training programme and peer support network that's here to help you bring more nature into your neighbourhood.

From planting for pollinators, bringing people together to share their memories of nature, creating a community garden, or organising walks and talks, our year-long monthly training programme can help you bring your ideas to life! Training sessions include - 'An Intro to Basic Ecology', 'Community Engagement & Organising', 'An Intro to Wildlife Monitoring', along with seasonal events such as dawn chorus walks and Solstice celebration.

Taster Day, Sat 28th June, 10am - 12pm, Grow Wilder

Our goal is to make Avon a much wilder and more natural place and we believe that everyone should enjoy the benefits of being surrounded by nature. Actions at a local level are key - they create valuable stepping stones for wildlife and link up larger green spaces where nature can thrive. As part of the Team Wilder movement our aim is to have a Wildlife Champion in every postcode across the Avon region (Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset) by 2030.

We are excited to see local people stepping forward to give nature a voice and make a real and lasting difference for nature where they live.

The 2025 - 2028 Programme has been made possible with thanks to National Lottery Players at The National Lottery Community Fund.
