Small-Scale Wilding
Small-scale wilding differs in some key aspects from the bigger scale wilding projects you may have heard more about. While there is no hard-and-fast definition of what constitutes 'small-scale', it most often refers to sites ranging from garden-size up to a few hundred acres. Below is an overview of some of the important things to consider on smaller-scale wilding sites.

Britain's Ailing Ecology
Traditional biodiversity conservation has achieved some outstanding successes in protecting nature in the UK.
Yet we still face what is now widely recognised as an ecological crisis - the State of Nature 2019 report found the UK to be amongst the most nature-depleted countries in the world.
Since 1970, 41% of UK species declined and at least 15% are now threatened with extinction. For us, it seems clear that our practices need to change a great deal to turn the tables on this ecological tragedy.
Our vision is optimistic.
We aren’t trying to just protect ‘what’s left’, or to fence nature away from people. The solution we favour is an increase in wilder places of all sizes, and many more people invested in their creation, care and enjoyment.
