Project Wild Thing & Huff Post - A Very Wild Network
A year ago today I stood up in front of a room full of conservationists and told them they had failed. They exist to get people outdoors and connected to nature. But, increasingly, people are not interested. They vote with their feet, and stay indoors. More worryingly, so do their children. I was speaking at […]

Project Wild Thing & Huff Post - The 500m Nature Trail
My children are back at school today. It makes me feel guilty. After a summer of walking and frolicking, suddenly I have to decant them into the car and ferry them around. I know I shouldn’t. But it is just too far for them to walk (especially for the 4-year-old). If we try, we end […]
Project Wild Thing & Huff Post - Too Poor for Nature
I am still on holiday, in acres of green space in North Wales. So the news today hit particularly hard: the number of children living in poverty in the UK has risen by a million in my generation. A new report by the National Children’s Bureau compares the situation in 1971, when two million children […]
Project Wild Thing & Huff Post - The Real Stranger Danger
I have just been looking at my calendar. It is full. Whole days have disappeared under scribbles.

But for now I am determined to forget all that. This week I […]
Project Wild Thing & Huff Post - Fat Kids Doped Up on Ritalin
This week I opened the newspaper. Big mistake. Actually, I didn’t even have to open the newspaper.

In a new report the British Heart Foundation revealed that 80% of children are not eating the recommended […]

Project Wild Thing blog: All I want for Father’s Day
My poor children. For the last month, they’ve been bombarded with commercials telling them what I want for Father’s Day. They’ve offered me the following ideas – a day on a race track, aftershave, an electric razor, a hot air balloon ride, a remote controlled helicopter, some whisky, because Manly Matters. None of these ideas […]
Project Wild Thing blog: The state of nature
The recent report ‘State of Nature’ highlights the need to rekindle our own and our children’s love of nature, writes David Bond I’m stuck in an office in the centre of London.

Project Wild Thing Blog: Can we prove that nature is good for us?
Getting people outdoors is an emotional battle, not just a scientific one writes David Bond Advertising is a mighty persuader.

Project Wild Thing Blog: Embracing Fear
Fear is an evolved emotion. It helps us to deal with stress relating to potentially dangerous situations. It makes hearts beat faster, adrenaline flow and bodies sweat.

Project Wild Thing Blog: Risk and Fear
My son Albie (4) is obsessed with anything sharp and dangerous. We have a knife drawer in our kitchen, towards which he consistently gravitates if ever he’s left on his own. We keep telling him that if he goes into the drawer again, sanctions will be imposed. You can imagine the sort of thing – […]
