Get in touch with nature through the Wildling app

Wildling is a free to download mobile app that has been specifically designed to bring more nature into our lives and helps connect us with the nature all around us.

What is Wildling?

It has been proven that spending more time in the natural world improves your health and wellbeing but the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. This makes the Wildling app's mission to help the public reconnect with the nature all around us and encourage people to think nature-first even more important.

How does it work?

The Wildling app helps people connect with the nature found all around them by showcasing hundreds of places to go and things to do, for free, and for all ages.

Regardless of where you are in the country, the Wildling app highlights areas around you so you can discover natural spots closeby. It also provides all the key information you need to know including facilities nearby and the activities you can take part in the area so you can plan the perfect visit, improve your mental health and learn fresh new ways to connect with the wild.

The Wildling app also focuses on showing how we can all make a difference to our natural planet. By acting for nature, engaging with research and events, and supporting conservation organisations and their campaigns.
