About Ant Antics Foundation
We are a not-for-profit organisation called the Ant Antics Foundation. We focus on conservation, education, and outreach across the UK. Our mission is to protect native ant species and their ecosystems, raise awareness about their role in nature, and inspire the next generation of ecologists and conservationists. We donate ant colonies to schools, deliver free educational talks, reintroduce threatened species like the wood ant, and attend public events to showcase ethical antkeeping. We were founded by the team behind Ant Antics Ltd, the UK’s first antkeeping store. The site should feel nature-focused, inspiring, and trustworthy, with an educational tone. We want to feature our mission, projects, how to get involved, and resources for teachers.
