Explained in plain English

What is rewilding?

Rewilding is a conservation approach focused on restoring natural processes and ecosystems, often by reintroducing native species and allowing nature to take its course. The Skipton project exemplifies this by planting trees and restoring wetlands, creating habitats that encourage wildlife like owls and beavers to return naturally. It's about letting nature lead the recovery.
