Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

What if rewilding centred around involving people and inviting them back onto the land? What if we saw the public as ecosystem engineers, essential for the health of wild and urban spaces? This workshop explores how people can actively participate in and benefit from rewilding, highlighting the concept that it’s not just about restoring ecosystems but also reconnecting people with nature. We’ll share examples of community-led efforts and discuss how people can be "rewilders" — agents of change through sustainable practices, conservation, and mindful land use. Key themes include: • The role of communities in rewilding projects. • Cultural and social connections to nature. • Practical ways to rewild everyday surroundings. • The link between human well-being and healthy, wild landscapes. Participants will engage in discussions, share ideas, and explore how rewilding can be a holistic movement where both nature and people flourish.
