ReWild Yourself

The Voice for Nature Foundation is proud to support the work of ReWIld Yourself, an initiative by our founding company Voice for Nature.

Since launching in 2022, ReWild Yourself has provided camps in Utah and London for inner-city school children to learn, connect and play in the outdoors, keeping their connection to Nature alive at a crucial point in their late childhood, inspiring them to stay connected as they grow older.

ReWild Yourself works closely with the Nature Connection research of The University of Derby, and is creating an online community of worldwide organisations who provide access to Nature for all, especially underserved communities.

A key part of ReWild Yourself’s action to inspire a reconnection in adults and children to Nature is their Nature Guides for large cities, where access to Nature can be very limited. Thus far, they have released 5 international city locations – New York, Montreal, London, Mexico City and Seoul.

Earth Day 2021

It’s time for a new narrative.
One that shows us what’s possible.
That articulates how we thrive not just survive.
We need to harness our creativity.
It’s not just our intelligence that makes us creative,
it’s our passion,
our imagination,
our empathy,
our innovation.
It’s our ability to harmonize the relationship with technology, Nature, and us.
We have the playbook. We just need to use it.
It’s time to give Nature a voice.

Voice for Nature Foundation x The Lost Explorer Mezcal

To mark Earth Day, we are delighted to announce a long-term partnership with The Lost Explorer Mezcal x Voice For Nature Foundation to advance a more sustainable and socially conscious mezcal industry, starting in our own backyard. We have begun their endeavor by consulting with expert advisors in creating an open-source exchange of sustainability best practices, which we hope will inspire further conversations and action within all industries that touch mezcal production.  As we embark, we look forward to sharing this journey with you. We intend to be both the student and teacher as we do our part to work toward a more environmentally sound world. #celebratetheearth
