What is WILD?

Spend More Time In The WILD was created by Abbie Barnes in 2016 with the aim of inspiring and empowering individuals to enjoy more quality time outside for the benefit of improving mental and physical health and wellbeing, whilst building meaningful connections with the natural world and each other. Over the last three years the project has grown into a worldwide community of passionate and courageous individuals working together to enjoy the beauty of our wild spaces and protect them for generations to come.

Alongside offering WILD Walks, workshops, talks and presentations throughout the country, perhaps the biggest part of the project is our YouTube Channel.

WILD Values

Here at WILD we have a number of values that guide us in all that we do.

We believe:

in owning our stories by living authentically, wholeheartedly, and courageously

in being kind and compassionate towards ourselves, those around us, and the planet

in being active members of the global community who give back to appreciate the world we live in

in laughing every day and having fun
