About Us
Where The Wild Things Are is a CIC established in March 2025, operating in and around Badenoch and Strathspey. Our experienced, qualified practitioners work in schools and across the community to provide forest schools and outdoor learning sessions to wildlings of all ages.
We are passionate about inspiring our learners to be responsible stewards for the natural world, supporting personal growth, and helping people to become active and engaged in their community. We are always excited to make new connections and explore new possibilities!

About Forest School
At Where The Wild Things Are, we employ the learner-led, holistic approach of the forest school ethos. Our values put learners' experiences in the centre of teaching, cares for nature, and promotes community and leadership. We believe that the openness of forest school is a crucial element for our learners' development, that it helps promote a sense of self and others, and supports our learners' wellbeing.

Our Vision
To help protect the environment, improve wellbeing, and promote personal growth by providing quality experiential education experiences for learners of all ages and abilities.
Our Values
Sustainability
Being sustainable means more than just taking care of nature, It means making smart choices today to support our tomorrow.
​​We believe that everyone has the right to have access to the outdoors, regardless of their background or abilities, and that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop their skills and confidence.
Inclusion
We are not just an education provider, we are also a social enterprise! As a CIC, a portion of our earnings go straight back into the community. By working alongside the community, we help young people build stronger connections to their home.
Community
Nature
Nature is our most treasured value. We are fully committed to the environment and the protection of the more than human world. We make sure to put Nature at the heart of everything we do.
