Happy Birthday David Attenborough!
Celebrating the 100th birthday of a champion of the natural world.
On 8 May 2026, Sir David Attenborough turned 100
For decades, his work has helped generations fall in love with the natural world – shaping how we understand it, value it and care for it.
At Muddy Faces, we believe that connection begins in childhood, through direct, hands-on experiences outdoors.
Whether it’s turning over a log, watching insects at work, or simply spending time outside, these moments help children develop a lasting relationship with the natural world around them.
To mark this milestone, Muddy Faces Founder and Director Liz Edwards has shared a personal message, reflecting on his influence and the importance of nurturing that same sense of curiosity and care in children today.
