The John Muir Trust is a conservation charity which was founded in 1983 to protect and enhance wild places. Collaborating with partners and local communities, the Trust works towards the landscape-scale restoration of natural processes, including the expansion of native woodlands, restoring native peatlands, nurturing rare mountain plants, and repairing footpaths through some of the country's wildest places.

The Trust also campaigns to persuade governments and policy makers of the benefits of wild land and the value of protecting and restoring it, and advocates for policy changes that benefit the health of all life, whether plants, animals, people or planet. The global climate and biodiversity crises can feel overwhelming, but improved land management holds the seeds of hope for our future.

By inspiring and encouraging people from all walks of life to enjoy, connect and care for wild nature and to get involved in direct, practical action the Trust enables them to benefit themselves and their environment. The John Muir Award, operates across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, working with 1,200 partner organisations to deliver tens of thousands of Award certificates each year.

Mountain Equipment is a corporate member of the John Muir Trust supporting the charity in a number of ways. This includes equipping its land staff with clothing and equipment, a vital resource for those involved in year round conservation work in some of our wildest and most precious landscapes.
