On Friday evening an awards ceremony was held to celebrate the achievement of five young people aged between 11 to 13 after they completed over 20 days of outdoor wilderness and conservation activities to achieve their John Muir Conservers award. Wildwood Days CIC has been providing outdoor holiday clubs for the past few years to help children achieve their John Muir Award - an environmental award scheme that involves discovering, exploring and conserving a wild space.
Elizabeth Webley, Director of Wildwood Days, said: “It’s wonderful to see these children get their awards. They’ve all worked so hard over the last few years and you can really see their love of the outdoors.”
Tim Mitcham, head of conservation at Lancashire Wildlife Trust presented the awards. The five children who have been working towards the award for the past four years and have now completed the highest level, receiving their conserver awards are:
Isaac Marsden.
Aidan Bond.
Sophie Neal.
Emma Neal.
