ABOUT US
Everyone deserves to feel safe in the great outdoors.
Wild Access started with one simple idea: nature is for all of us. That little seed of an idea grew through Tay's work over the years as she continued working with young people and meeting other people of colour who understood the value of a connection with nature.
​
Those early steps have inspired us towards building an organisation from the ground up, developing activities and figuring out ways to bring together a community of like-minded people.
