Our Strategic Areas
Land stewardship: secure and restore a large site to help it flourish into its wildest and most resilient form. We’ll work with local communities to protect its culture, history, landmarks and Y Gymraeg. The land will remain open access, so you can see rewilding in action, in the knowledge that your support made it happen!
Apply rewilding principles at a landscape-scale: after extensive surveying, mapping and monitoring, we'll introduce small numbers of hardy breeds of cattle, ponies and pigs to shape varied, missing habitats. This will create an abundance and diversity of wildlife, while also helping regenerate trees and plants. We'll also restore peatlands, adjust fencing and explore species reintroductions where feasible - creating local jobs along the way. Combined, these interventions will capture carbon, improve soil and water health, and improve climate resilience for the land and its surroundings.
​
Inspire new projects in Wales: Through data, citizen science, the arts, and storytelling, we'll share our findings with the public, landowners and policymakers. Our goal is to connect and support a network of people and projects leading nature recovery in Wales.
