ReRoute Recommendations – How do they apply to where you work?

ReRoute is Scotland’s Youth Biodiversity Panel, a group of volunteers aged 13-24 dedicated to exploring ways of increasing young people’s engagement with Scotland’s nature. 

In June 2018, ReRoute produced a Recommendations Report directed at Scottish Natural Heritage. We think it offers a valuable audit tool for organisations across a range of sectors to consider how their work tallies with the expectations of young people and to reflect on how they engage youth voices, with many recommendations also relevant to those working outside Scotland.

We responded with a John Muir Trust interpretation of these recommendations during Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018, including creating a blank template for other organisations to utilise. Two years on, we have revisited our response to reflect our work across the UK to inspire and connect young people with wild places – updating on what we have been doing, what we continue to do as part of our ongoing/current work, and what we potentially could do looking forward.
