Youth-led nature recovery

Our Dual Mission
1. Accelerate nature recovery in the UK
2. Involve young people in the process and the movement
​
Why it's important
​
The Problem
The UK's ecological health is in the bottom 10% on Earth. And 4 in 5 UK young people are eager to take environmental action, while only 1 in 5 believe they are being listened to on environmental issues.
​
Our Approach
We tackle the UK's dire ecology and young people's lack of involvement together. By working with landowners and partner organisations, we facilitate accessible, youth-led nature recovery projects across the UK.
All of our nature recovery projects are conceived, designed and delivered by young people aged 18-30 years. They provide local young people with hands-on experience in nature recovery work, the opportunity to feel more connected to nature and each other, and to have agency in the face of the environmental crisis.
We also run a mix of experimental youth engagement and movement building activities, including an Artist in Residence Programme and our bi-annual Youth Rewilding Summit 'Overgrowth'.
