The Forest Did It First is an 18-month project exploring what we can learn from Garvagh Forest, Rivers and Rough Fields to help us design sustainable solutions for a different world.

​

Wild Awake is delighted to have been invited to support the biomimicry aspects of this exciting work. Over the next 18-monhts, we will be working with schools and communities to learn from nature, and use nature as a source of wisdom, inspiration and design to rethink how we can address human challenges sustainably.

​

More specifically this work will focus on the delivery of a training for educators and facilitators programme, supporting the development of a programme and associated materials and then helping deliver a Youth Design Challenge with six local primary schools.

​

The project is managed by the Hare’s Corner Cooperative and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund, together with Big Telly amd the Rural Community Network.
