“Being so fully immersed in the natural environment whilst at the same time surrounded by likeminded industry professionals was the most unique way to collaborate and learn from our surroundings and each other.”

“It is a rare opportunity to connect the conversations had regarding theoretical issues with the reality of those issues. Expert opinion is subjective and discussing these items with those who are on the sharp end of nature regeneration is a privilege.”

“Our Climate Pursuits trip was spectacular. In only three days we managed to fit in multiple stunning hikes, sea kayaking and got to visit so many different sites. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more adventurous holiday or team building exercise!”

“Climate Pursuits is my new favourite way to travel. My trip to Scotland with them was filled with firsts - my first sleeper train, my first bothy experience, my first seal sighting! I cannot wait to come back and learn more about beautiful Scotland! Thank you Climate Pursuits!”

“The overnight contrast between the busy-ness of London and the untouched wilderness of Scotland underscores the abundant natural endowment we have - but often fail to recognise and treasure - in what is almost literally our backyard. The good news is it only takes one Climate Pursuit to put all of that into perspective.”
