Young Wilders
Youth-led nature recovery in the UK
A youth-led group of passionate rewilding advocates, promoting a 'DIY-ilding' approach: a grassroots process driven not only by the wish to protect ‘what’s left’, but by an exciting vision of reinvigorated wilderness with benefits to both people and wildlife. Their work is rooted in the values of participation, knowledge sharing and community empowerment. DIY-ilding works at all scales, supports sustainable nature-based economies, and is inclusive towards anyone with a dream to wild!
