EDUCATION
Highland Carbon is committed to connecting HOWL (Highland Outdoor and Wilderness Learning) programmes with large wilderness estates. HOWL offers a specially designed and expert-led, environmental journey for local school children. The children improve their understanding about the natural world, ecology and conservation but also learn key life skills. HOWL enables those taking part to reconnect with our natural heritage and to ignite a passion to protect, restore and enjoy the wild.
Our Founder, Richard Clarke, is a mentor for the Fuel Change programme. Fuel Change engages the next generation workforce to drive a positive transition to Net Zero. Young staff within a given organisation help to develop solutions to real world sustainability challenges for the benefit of their employers. Fuel Change also offers a schools based educational programme with a curriculum that covers Climate Change and Net Zero solutions.
Highland Carbon sponsored the Beyond Borders International Festival, held at Traquair House in Scotland. During the festival there are talks by luminaries in the cultural world, such as authors and poets. There are panel discussions with politicians from a range of parties. During a previous event, one of the guest speakers was US Secretary of State, John Kerry. Political pundits and political editors also attend. The purpose of the event is to build bridges between different points of view and to work together for a better world.
