Small-Scale Wilding
Small-scale wilding differs in some key aspects from the bigger scale wilding projects you may have heard more about.

Below is an overview of some of the important things to consider on smaller-scale wilding sites.

Dire Ecology - UK’s ecological health is in the bottom 10% on earth
Excluded youth - Over 80% of UK young people are eager to take action to help the environment but only 1 in 5 believe they are being listened to on environmental issues
Imbalanced Rewilding Landscape - Rewilding is dealing with ‘problems of success’. Projects are profit-prioritised at the expense of ecological and engagement work, rewilding is often used for greenwashing and is increasingly seen as the preserve of the landed and wealthy
