Since launching in spring 2010, The Wildlife-man has worked with almost two hundred schools, engaged and inspired thousands of pupils, and reached over ten thousand members of the public through events. 

Founded by wildlife conservationist Jules Howard, services are aimed at charities, schools and community groups; helping these audiences develop and enhance their teaching of environmental education.

Services include leading wildlife workshops; inset training; wildlife garden / science park design and renovation; consultation with national wildlife charities; and helping schools attain Eco-school status.

In March 2011, the social enterprise was awarded a Millennium Fellowship Award, from UnLtd - a charity which supports the work of social entrepreneurs. The decision was, in part, due to the overwhelming response from schools - see feedback pages.
