Are you rewilding or thinking about it? 🌱
If you’re managing land (minimum 10 hectares) or a marine area (any size), whether that’s as a landowner, land manager, farmer or community group, the Rewilding Network can support your rewilding journey.
A free membership provides rewilding practitioners with access to exclusive content and funding, as well as peer-to-peer support with everything from navigating legislation to engaging with local communities. Together we can scale up rewilding across Britain’s land and seas.
Find out how to join the Rewilding Network via the link in our bio.

Think you know what wild is? 🦅
We’ve been told that nature is neat. That it’s tidy. But nature isn’t polite. It’s powerful.
And that’s exactly what our new video is here to show.
We’ve seen what happens when you give it the space to recover, grow and roar back.And we’re not alone, we’re building a movement to unleash nature’s full potential. Join us – link in our bio.

Is the Welsh government’s new Programme for Government ambitious enough when it comes to climate mitigation and nature recovery? 🌱
That’s the question James Hitchcock, the Convener of the Welsh Rewilding Alliance and Welsh Rewilding Policy and Advocacy Lead at Rewilding Britain, answers in his piece for @nationcymru.

Meet Luke, who's carving out a new future for his estate in West Dorset, inspired by a son keen to take him on climate marches, as well as by rewilding trailblazers at Knepp.
"Mapperton is a wonderful, wonderful estate," he says, "but it's been very poor at producing food. It's much better given back to nature." That's why the project has introduced grazing herbivores that are helping to restore natural processes, break up soil and increase biodiversity.
Introducing Mapperton's eco-engineers:
White Park cattle, standing in for the ancient aurochs 🐄
Exmoor ponies, playing the role of the now-extinct tarpan 🐴
Tamworth pigs, channeling their wild boar ancestors 🐗
Mapperton is a member of Rewilding Britain's free-to-join Rewilding Network, uniting the practitioners who can deliver change across Britain – and proving that we can prosper within flourishing ecosystems in the face of the nature and climate crises.

Bringing back missing species is key to helping nature recover and thrive — and it needs to be treated as such 🐾
Yet a new freedom of information request made by The Times has revealed that ministers privately rejected proposals, made by the environment department (Defra) and its regulators, to spend money studying the return of lynx and bison to Britain. They also opposed investigating legal reforms to enable the animals to return to the wild.
Reintroducing missing species is complicated and must be responsibly managed — grounded in open, collaborative engagement with local communities, land managers and stakeholders. But by rejecting these proposals, the Government is passing up an opportunity to help restore Britain's depleted ecosystems and make our landscapes more resilient to climate change.
And that’s exactly what our Rewilding Director Kevin Cumming told The Times when they asked what our thoughts were about this news.

A landmark moment for nature recovery in Britain 🌳
In one of the most ambitious nature recovery projects ever undertaken in England, @thewildlifetrusts have raised £30m to secure the Rothbury Estate in Northumberland.
Thanks to £17m in public crowdfunding from 25,000 people, alongside lottery funding and government support, the 3,800-hectare site is set to become the heart of a 40-mile nature corridor, bringing back native species while demonstrating how sustainable farming and biodiversity can thrive together.
This is a huge win for rewilding in Britain and we can’t wait to see how things evolve.

Your voice is making an impact for rewilding and preparing Britain for future climate shocks ✊
Yesterday’s Budget announcement from the UK Government was a huge missed opportunity to invest in nature recovery and prepare our landscapes for future climate shocks.
But thanks to you, there’s hope.
Since this summer, when wildfires swept across Britain, over 14,000 of you signed our open letter to the Prime Minister and thousands emailed your local representatives.
Together, we made the case for rewilding as climate resilience, helping bring nature recovery into the national conversation.
Look at how our collective voice has made a difference:
- £25 million funding unlocked by UK Government to to restore dried-out peatlands and fireproof farmland
- In Scotland, we led collective action with the Scottish Rewilding Alliance at the first-ever rewilding-focused debate on wildfires and climate resilience in the Scottish Parliament
- In Wales, we secured a seat at Wales’ first ever Climate Change and Resilience summit to share the evidence on rewilding
Our message is getting through. But our leaders are still stuck in short-term firefighting when we need long-term landscape resilience.
We need a Climate Shock Fund to rewild Britain at the scale and pace we need.

We need to calm the flood-drought climate whiplash 🌦️
In the national conversation around climate resilience, Britain’s water crisis is almost always framed as two separate emergencies.
In the summer, reservoirs drain, hosepipe bans hit the news, cracked earth threatens food production and flames increasingly threaten people, houses, farmland and wildlife. Just months later, the narrative abruptly flips: autumn storms inundate towns, wash away topsoil, and prompt frantic calls for higher concrete walls, deeper dredging and emergency pumping stations.
Yet one of the most powerful, cost-effective defences we have is nature itself. Rewilding and the mass restoration of our natural ecosystems can re-establish spongy peatlands, wet woodlands and free-flowing rivers, which in turn can repair landscapes, help secure our water future and build our long-term climate resilience.
In her latest Wild View opinion piece our Co-founder and Chief Exec Rebecca Wrigley delves into how turning our countryside back into a natural sponge is the key to escaping this flood-drought whiplash. Visit the link in our bio to read the blog.

Let’s set the record straight 🔥
During this summer’s severe fire season, misinformation spread as far and fast as the flames. Our new report, Rewilding and Climate Resilience: Wildfires, is here to lay out some important facts:
- In 2025, wildfires burnt 47,000 hectares of land — an area larger than Glasgow and Birmingham combined. By mid-summer 2026, fire service responses to wildfires exceeded the previous three years combined.
- High fire-risk days could double by 2050.
- UK wildfire damage cost an estimated £460 million in 2025.
- Around 77% of wildfire ignitions in Britain have been attributed to human activity, whether accidental or deliberate
- Research shows that native broadleaved woodlands act as natural firebreaks, reducing fireline intensity up to five times compared to monoculture tree plantations.
- In California, wildfires were shown to be less likely in areas where beavers were active, showing that beaver-driven rewetting can have an impact on fire control and mitigation.
- Out of 285 Rewilding Network projects, only one site was directly affected by wildfire during the 2026 season.
Britain must adapt to a new reality: without a change in approach, extreme weather events will become increasingly devastating. We need to lower ignition risks in the short term and build landscape resilience for the long term.
Research shows that rewilding restores natural hydrology, structural variation and habitat diversity — retaining water in the landscape, breaking up continuous fuel loads and interrupting fire pathways.
Rewilding doesn’t replace prevention or emergency response, but the evidence reviewed in our report shows it plays a vital role in creating more wildfire-resilient landscapes.
That’s why we're calling on Andy Burnham and the UK government to rewild Britain for a safer future. Visit the link in our bio to read the full report and get involved.

Can we bring back the giants? 🦬
Britain once had many more large herbivores, including aurochs, wild horses, wild boar, red deer, roe deer, elk (or moose) and the steppe bison. Today, rewilding projects look to restore herbivores wherever possible, so that these ecosystem engineers can play their vital role in shaping dynamic, resilient landscapes that support other species.
This September marked a significant moment for large herbivores in Britain. Nearly 120 delegates from mainland Europe and the UK gathered in Kent at the Large Herbivore Working Group conference to talk about one thing: how to restore more large herbivores to our landscapes.
Our Rewilding Manager Sara King reports back from this landmark summit in our latest blog — link in our bio.
