Introduction
At The Wild Pause, we are dedicated to promoting well-being through meaningful connections with nature. We recognize the importance of protecting and preserving the natural environments we use for our sessions and are committed to minimizing our ecological impact.

Our Commitments
Sustainable Travel:
-We will prioritize environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as trains and buses, over less sustainable options like flying or driving where feasible.

Respect for Natural Environments:
- Activities will be designed to avoid unnecessary disruption or harm to the natural settings we use.
- We will adhere to local regulations and guidelines to protect biodiversity.
- Leave No Trace Principles
- All participants will be encouraged to follow the "Leave No Trace" principles, ensuring no lasting impact on the areas we visit.
- Waste will be collected and disposed of responsibly, and we will avoid using single-use plastics during sessions.

Education and Awareness:
- We will incorporate education about environmental conservation into our sessions, drawing on resources from the John Muir Trust, the Woodland Trust, and other relevant organisations.
- Any additional resources used will be credited appropriately at the time of use.

Partnerships and Advocacy:
- We will work with organisations, on occasion, such as the John Muir Trust and the Woodland Trust, to promote conservation efforts and responsible outdoor activities.

Monitoring and Review:
This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure it reflects best practices and any changes in our operations or environmental commitments.
