We buy, lease or manage large areas of ecologically degraded land and seascapes across the UK and Europe in order to recover biodiversity and bring about functioning natural processes. This ‘rewilding’ of depleted ecosystems leads to carbon capture, water purification, improved soil function, and, potentially, reduced flooding and air purification.

Rewilding provides a range of new income streams from the land. Combining these with new and emerging natural capital markets can produce attractive long-term financial returns.

We help strengthen local communities around each site by providing employment, and volunteering, education, and business opportunities, whilst also enabling people to connect with nature and each other.

We are leaders in biodiversity recovery based on an appreciation of natural capital. We collaborate at every level with academic institutions, and local and national interest groups, in carrying out scientific research and monitoring results. We do this so we can learn from, contribute to and improve the science of nature recovery.
