One of our Sirius 2010 graduates, the talented and creative Emily Dodd has put together a fantastic analysis of her journey into the wild with the Wilderness Foundation last year.
In her article, Emily reflects on her direct experiences day-by-day, how her time in the wilderness inspired her and her subsequent journey home.  It is here that Emily realises and understands the difference that wilderness makes.

Since graduating from our environmental leadership programme, Emily certainly hasn’t take it easy.  In December 2010 she was a recipient of the Green Hero Award from Greener Leith.
 Emily has also excitedly written to tell us about a swim in the sea on New Year’s day, undertaken with the aim of inspriring family and friends to commit to Green Resolutions.
Many congratulations to Emily on all her recent achievements. We will continue to bring you news of Emily and our other programme graduates so check back regularly. You can also follow us on Twitter for regular and timely updates on all of the Foundation’s work, as well as issues concerning and threatening wilderness and wild places.
