Letting Nature Lead: Lessons for Our Ecosystems and Our Lives
We'll explore the powerful concept of rewilding, from its core principles to the stark story of ecological loss in Scotland's forests and beyond. I'll then share the hands-on work we're doing at Birchfield to restore nature, demonstrating these principles in action. Finally, we'll shift the focus to how we can all apply this transformative approach, offering practical steps to rewild our own local spaces and, in the process, reconnect with our own wilder selves.
