“Participation in this project presents a wonderful opportunity for our schools to work together to help address, on a local level, environmental issues about which we should all be concerned.  

The rewilding aspect of the project is important in itself, allowing us to restore and protect the biodiversity of our school grounds.  Even more important than that, however, is the educative aspect of the programme, allowing our pupils to learn more about the environmental challenges that the world faces and, we hope, to be inspired to do something about them not just today but in the future.”

“It is a real privilege to be involved in this project which not only has the potential to change our environment for the better but also to create a greater understanding of how we co-exist with nature.”

“Working with nature brings first-hand understanding of our connection with and dependence on ecosystem services and the need for us to care for the natural world; a message which is at the heart of Operation Future Hope. We hope that this project really does sow the seeds of conservation and inspires the girls to take action – instilling a belief that stays with them always. I firmly believe it will bring huge physical and mental wellbeing benefits for us all on so many levels.”

"Over the past two years, we have proudly supported Operation Future Hope on the delivery of several projects, from an online Rewilding Apprenticeship course, to helping a Secondary School and two Primary Schools in the Brighton area embark on rewilding projects in their school grounds with guidance from OFH.

OFH’S determination to inspire, inform and mobilise the next generation to become the guardians and protectors of our planet is exactly the kind of leadership the world needs and we fully support them in their rewilding mission."
