Our second ever in-person #RewildingNetwork event has begun. Rewilders are together!

First up: a walk on the wild side. We’re off to Hepple Wilds to see how this Network member is creating “a more resilient, more abundant and more surprising landscape” in N'land National Park.

Great to visit the Hepple Estate during day 1 of Rewilding Britain gathering!

An excellent day being shown around Heal Rewilding site by @hannahrewilding and the team in Somerset. The site is showing very encouraging changes just 1 year into the project, with lots of exciting plans for the coming months and years. I can’t wait to see it again soon!

Wild Woodbury rewilding site is looking amazing after all this rain. Acting like a big sponge and holding huge amounts of water on site, slowing the flow to further downstream, cleaning the water, and providing great habitat for many species. Dorset Wildlife Trust Rewilding Britain

Great to see around 30 Lapwing drop into Dorset Wildlife Trust rewilding site, Wild Woodbury, this afternoon. Hopefully the first of many this Winter! Dorset Bird Club birdsofpooleharbour
