Centre for aging better
Wilder champions
People who are leading and supporting others to take action for nature in their local communities, schools or places of work.
Champions
As we move towards creating a wilder Cheshire, the aim is to build a network of people all working towards nature’s recovery. To achieve a change in the behaviour of the masses, we need 1 in 4 people taking action for wildlife, which is 600,000 people across Cheshire.
We can't do this alone.
We are looking for wilder champions to help us. Champions are people who are stepping forward to lead and support others to take action for nature in their local communities, schools or places of work. If this sounds like you then we can help and support you. Sign up as a Wilder Champion to receive our Champions newsletter and join a network of like-minded people.
We understand it takes time and dedication to support others so we have a range of free resources and guides designed to help you. We also run a variety of training courses to help you develop the skills you need to continue the great work. Our Facebook group also offers a place to meet other like you from all across Cheshire.
Let's bring wildlife back together.
