Your Wilder Schools Toolkit

Congratulations on becoming a Wilder School!

Welcome to the Wilder Schools Toolkit – a place where you’ll find helpful ways to communicate your status as a Wilder School, contact information for funding, plus ways to encourage your school community to enjoy the many benefits of a relationship with the natural world.

Here you will find:

  • A Wilder Schools logo for you to use on your school’s website and in other communications
  • A description of what a Wilder School is for you to use in your communications
  • A template for a press release should you wish to share your Wilder School news with local media
  • Seasonal ideas to inspire your students and wider school community
  • Useful information on funding opportunities for outdoor work
  • Where to find Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust’s nature reserves – many of which are open to the general public to explore
  • Fundraising ideas for your school’s community to help protect local wildlife.

Get in Touch

If you need any further help or ideas on how to make the most of being a Wilder School, please do email wildersupport@hmwt.org We would also love to hear about your news and progress!
