Our patrons

“The work that Wild Things do to encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to get outside, learn about and experience the great outdoors is really inspiring, and I look forward to working with them to support this extremely valuable work.”

Gordon Buchanan

Wild Things is proud to have renowned wildlife filmmaker and presenter Gordon Buchanan as our patron.

Known for his inspiring BBC documentaries and deep passion for the natural world, Gordon shares our belief that everyone should have the chance to experience and connect with nature.

His support helps shine a spotlight on our work across Moray, Aberdeenshire, and the Highlands, encouraging people of all ages to explore, learn, and care for the environment.

As patron, Gordon champions our mission to make outdoor education accessible to all, inspiring the next generation to protect Scotland’s wild spaces and the wildlife that call them home.
