Wild Youth Hub

Welcome to the new Wild Youth Hub where young people can find careers advice, social action inspiration and wellbeing exercises centred around wildlife.

It's been created by young people for young people, we hope you enjoy exploring the pages! There is a range of media to discover, including short films, illustrations, soundbites as well as the Youth Board's zine - Reframing Eco Anxiety.  

The hub is divided into three broad themes displayed below, click on the cards to start:

Read the Reframing Eco Anxiety zine

For many young people, the joint climate and biodiversity crises are taking a toll on our mental health and wellbeing. Issues can feel out of our hands or too big to tackle.

The Reframing Eco Anxiety zine is a toolkit to help turn your eco-anxiety into action.

Who made this hub possible?

A group of youth board members and young advisors for London Wildlife Trust enjoying the natural scenery at Camley Street Natural Park.

The Young People's Forum has been instrumental in creating the Wild Youth Hub: it was the group's key aim this year as we looked at how we could showcase and create a legacy for the Keeping it Wild project. They worked together to develop their initial ideas, create and curate the content displayed in the hub. From image choices to web design, from film edits to selecting a name, it's all down to them. Thank you to our inspiring group for their time and dedication in making this resource a reality.
