Online John Muir Award Programme 2020 Final Report
The Online John Muir Award programme was initiated by Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership as a response to the Covid 19 restrictions during summer 2020.
The aims of the project were to:
Actively engage with the public during Covid 19 restrictions, and provide an alternative to facilitated outdoor projects that could not be undertaken.
Encourage and support people, especially families, to engage meaningfully and actively with their local environment during Covid 19 restrictions and beyond.
Extending the ethos of our ‘Go Wild’ summer project in 2019, the programme also committed to being widely accessible, free to take part in and to promote outdoor activities that are free or low cost and do not require specialist knowledge or equipment.
