Wilder Luton
Inspired by the beautiful chalk hills that reach into the fringes of Luton, this project aims to engage people of all ages and backgrounds to connect them with this landscape and to enjoy the benefits that being outdoors in nature brings.
Our events and activities are designed to educate, inspire and raise awareness of the importance of nature and green spaces in our lives and to provide people with the skills and confidence in joining us to help ensure these spaces are managed and protected for future generations.

Ways to get involved
We run regular clubs and events for children and families at Wardown Park and the Bushmead Community Hub. Please check our upcoming events section for more details.
We offer a variety of services to local schools including site visits, advice on improving school grounds for wildlife and workshops that bring to life the chalk hills and the creatures that live there suitable for KS 1 and 2. Explore our Bedfordshire Outreach programme for more information.
