If we are to take rewilding, or restoration ecology, or new nature, whatever you want to call it, forward then we need people who will be best placed to progress its ambitions in the future. They need to be open to new ideas and bold plans, while taking on board what we’ve achieved in the past. These people are the next generation of conservationists.
Rewilding aims to restore ecosystems and reverse biodiversity declines by allowing wildlife and natural processes to reclaim areas no longer under human management.

Westport Estate is working with renowned garden designer Mary Reynolds to lead the way in the movement of #Rewilding.
But what is an example of Rewilding?
Examples of rewilding include: Protecting, expanding and connecting ancient woodlands to enable a diverse range of wildlife to establish and disperse, and increasing carbon storage. Reducing high populations of grazing animals to help trees and other vegetation grow.

Westport Estate is going to be at the fore of Rewilding, but what is #Rewilding you may ask?
Rewilding is a progressive approach to conservation. It's about letting nature take care of itself, enabling natural processes to shape land and sea, repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes.
