Words of the Wild – Scottish Wildlife Trust

Words of the Wild is a creative programme developed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust to celebrate Scotland's rich natural heritage through storytelling, writing and art. Created as part of the Trust's 60th anniversary celebrations, the initiative invites people to connect with nature through creative expression and shared stories.

At Art of Birdie, we developed the visual identity and illustration assets for the programme, creating artwork inspired by Scotland's wildlife, landscapes and storytelling traditions. Designed to work across digital platforms, print materials, events and public engagement activities, the illustrations help bring the campaign's themes to life while creating a cohesive and recognisable visual presence.

Drawing inspiration from locations across Scotland and the species that inhabit them, the artwork combines contemporary illustration with a strong sense of place, encouraging audiences to engage with nature through curiosity, creativity and imagination.

Over three years, the illustrations have been used across writing competitions, events, educational activities, digital communications and public engagement initiatives, helping support the Scottish Wildlife Trust's mission to inspire people to care for Scotland's natural environment.
