Why Rewilding?
Rewilding is a powerful tool for restoring natural processes, promoting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. By rewilding this area, we will:
- Restore native habitats: Planting species like oak, birch, and hazel will recreate a temperate rainforest environment, fostering the return of diverse flora and fauna.
- Support local wildlife: We will reintroduce species such as red squirrels, pine martens, and dormice, creating a balanced ecosystem where wildlife can thrive.
- Combat climate change: Rewilding sequesters carbon, helping to mitigate climate change while enhancing local resilience to environmental changes.
- Promote community engagement: This project will serve as an educational resource and a space for the community to connect with nature, fostering environmental stewardship.
