Why providers organize within the network
Shared infrastructure for visibility, collaboration, and relief.
Visibility within a shared network
Your offers become part of a shared space where people can find suitable classes more easily and where providers become more visible within the network.
Administration within a shared structure
Bookings, participant lists, and organizational workflows come together in one place instead of being spread across many separate tools.
Reliable processes around booking and payment
WildNet helps bring recurring workflows around payments, invoicing, and course administration into a stable shared structure.
Collaboration and communication in one system
Work with your team and communicate with participants in a shared context, without media breaks and without scattered individual processes.

Our story
Shared answers to shared challenges
WildNet grew out of real provider work. We know the day-to-day reality of running classes because we organize events ourselves, work with groups, and face the same operational challenges.
Many workflows take unnecessary time: bookings come in from different channels, participant lists have to be maintained, payments accompanied, information sent out, and coordination handled. At the same time, there is often no shared place where visibility, organization, and collaboration come together.
That is exactly why we are building WildNet: as shared infrastructure from the field for the field. We bring together visibility, bookings, collaboration, and administrative workflows in one system shaped by the real needs of providers.
Our goal is not simply another tool, but a resilient network that eases everyday work, supports collaboration, and strengthens the shared presence of the field. Anyone who joins does not just use this infrastructure but also helps carry it forward.

What our members say
“I’m very happy with your tool and really enjoy working with it. It’s a big relief that I no longer have to create and maintain participant lists by hand. I also like how conveniently email communication with participants is handled. I’ve also noticed that payment reliability has improved because invoices are delivered directly to participants.”
“The WildNet network is led with heart, and that ultimately convinced us to contribute as supporting members. We believe a wilderness network supported by members carries more beauty and vitality than one financed only through services. In this kind of appreciation, a trusting give-and-take can emerge without complicated accounting.”
“I’ve been using the WildNet registration tool for several months now. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly both for me as an organizer and for my customers, which makes the whole booking process much easier. Before that, I had to process every booking manually. Now the tool handles confirmations, invoices, and attachments automatically once it has been set up. It saves me a lot of time and ensures professional communication with customers.”
“Community is the common thread running through events by wilderness schools and related providers. Learning and experiencing together is at the heart of it. A network like this is also community: an alliance for deeper nature connection and understanding. As part of this network, you can look beyond your own horizon, build connections, get to know each other, exchange ideas, and benefit from one another.”
“Community and connectedness are two essential elements of wilderness education as we understand it. Wilderness education holds real potential for addressing ecological and social challenges of our time, but that potential does not unfold automatically. For us, WildNet embodies that unfolding potential. That is why we are grateful to be part of it and to support it.”
“It gives me great joy to see the WildNet vision becoming visible. The growth of the course platform shows me what becomes possible when people follow a vision. This platform takes a lot of work off my shoulders. Since 2005 I have been running a wilderness school and always wished that technology would make office work easier. WildNet is that solution because the founders are organizers and instructors themselves and know exactly what we need.”
