Let the Wildness In is THE HERDS’ dynamic education programme, designed to connect young minds with the wonders of nature and the urgent need for climate action. Covering six diverse habitats, this interactive learning experience takes students on a journey through the world's ecosystems - exploring the wildlife, challenges, and conservation efforts shaping our planet.

Welcome to the European Forest. A patchwork of ancient woodlands, meadows, and winding rivers. These forests change with the seasons – from snowy silence in winter to bursting life in spring. They stretch across the continent, from the pine-covered north to the leafy oak forests of the south. Hidden in the undergrowth is one of nature’s quietest adventurers.

Welcome to the Arctic. The icy crown of our planet. The Arctic is a frozen, windswept wilderness, where winter rules for most of the year and summer brings endless daylight. It stretches across the northernmost parts of eight countries. At its heart are the glaciers, sea ice, and tundra – home to some of the toughest animals on Earth. Download the education pack and puppet guide and make your very own Puffin!
Welcome to the Congo Basin. The centre of the world’s climate. The Congo is a tropical, humid environment, with just two seasons – rainy and dry. It spans across six countries in Africa. At the centre is the Congo River – the world’s deepest river and one of the longest. Download the education pack and puppet guide and make your very own Pangolin!
Including the Fennec Fox in the Sahara, the Mediterranean and the Sea Turtle plus Flamingos in the Central Africa Mangroves.
