John Muir:John Muir was born in Scotland in 1838. He loved the natural world and explored the world around him – especially wild places!He became aware of the threat to wild places as people built more and more towns and cities. He set up the idea of National Parks to protect the environment and the animals that lived there.Link: http://graphicly.com/mission-explore/mission-explore-john-muir/john-muir/read#spread=1

We all like to think we can make a difference in the world - whether in business, in our children's lives, in our local community, or by leaving a legacy for future generations. The Greenlight Trust is passionate about conserving our natural heritage for the future.In our conservation and woodland management activities people gain personal confidence and communication skills and learn essential life skills such as learning to lead and work in teams.We are actively managing woodland and wild spaces. We offer information, advice and guidance that can assist in considering the range of options for employment in the environmental and land based sectors.
