One donation. Double the rewilding.

From the 20^th - 27^th April we will once again be participating in the Big Give Green Match Fund campaign, this time focused on our Rewilding Innovation Fund.

Since 2021 the Rewilding Innovation Fund has helped 23 projects across Britain’s land and sea. These initiatives not only give a boost to nature, but provide insight for other rewilders. From community-driven to technology-focused initiatives, we have removed the barriers to rewilding for many. But there are more projects that need our help if we are to foster the scale and ambition of rewilding across Britain.

Your support is truly valuable to us, and if you were considering making a donation to our work, then this presents a great opportunity to double your impact through the Big Give. If you do wish to make a donation, it will only be doubled if you make this through the Big Give link.

Also, any help that you can offer by sharing our campaign amongst your networks would be gratefully received, and will help us to reach our target of £200,000.

About us

Rewilding Britain is an exciting, innovative charity that promotes rewilding as an effective answer to some of the big issues - climate breakdown and species extinctions, as well as localised flooding and soil degradation. Increasing numbers of people are looking for specific support in how to rewild (from a small patch of land to a huge farm or estate or project with multiple owners); and increasingly politicians and decision makers are looking for rewilding advice (or cost effective solutions) to support the policy environment in addressing ecology, climate change and land management.

With the global focus on the climate emergency and the extinction crisis, Rewilding Britain is ambitious in our ability to help Britain respond effectively and quickly, with real, tangible actions for the environment over the coming year and decade.

It's no longer enough to tweak 'business as usual' within each sector - instead we are aiming for a major step-change in how Britain's land and sea is managed for the long-term benefit of people, nature and climate. Our ambition is to see 30% of Britain rewilding by the end of this century. We've also creating a 'rewilding network' - it's just at the early development stage, helping more people and groups to put rewilding into practice where they are.

Rewilding is a cost effective solution to some of the issues we face. We aim to help mitigate carbon emissions by increasing rewilding on the ground, and advocating for policies that will enable the systemic change needed to encourage rewilding. Rewilding projects help to restore and regenerate woodland, planting where necessary, and to revitalise other carbon-rich habitats such as peatbogs, grasslands and seabeds
