Wild Journey Programme Launched!

Wild Journey is PKCT's new way to help you find your wild side and explore the amazing countryside that Perth and Kinross has to offer.

This outdoor learning programme has six different activity streams to complete, and each one comes with its own certificate. If you're looking for an extra challenge, you can see if you can complete multiple streams, to get your bronze, silver and gold Wild Journey certificates!

This programme is designed to be flexible - it can be completed at any age and stage, and within a time frame that suits you or the group you work with. Check out the Wild Journey Guide to get started and then put on your outdoor coat and shoes, and start your journey!

To find out more and get started, head to the Wild Journey page on the PKCT website: Wild Journey | Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust (pkct.org)

Wild Journey was developed and launched by PKCT thanks to generous funding from the Gannochy Trust Youth Panel Fund.
