Rewilding map of the UK.
Explore our rewilding map.
Rewilding is a vision for our future with nature, but it shouldn’t be abstract. There are people and stories behind every project. This map is a place to celebrate and track the progress of rewilding in the UK.
What is rewilding?
Rewilding can mean many things, but at its heart, it’s about forging a new relationship with nature.
Add a project to the map
We know there are many more projects that aren’t on the map. If you have a rewilding project, send us an email at 4youngwilders@gmail.com! No matter how small or big, we would love to include it. We have a privacy policy in place to ensure landowners and locations can remain anonymous on the map.
Start a wilding project
Wilding can provide amazing benefits to people and nature even at garden-size. Whether you have a few square metres or a new vision for a larger area, we can help advise you on your options and put you in touch with wilding experts and other wilders in the UK.
Grassroots rewilding stories
As nature continues to decline in the UK, a new narrative is emerging. Around the country, people are setting new beginnings and pioneering new relationships with the natural world.

Citizen Zoo Water Vole Reintroduction
Citizen Zoo have been orchestrating a groundbreaking project in South West London, working to re-introduce one of Britain's most beloved critters, the water vole, into the Hogsmill River catchment area in Kingston upon Thames. With over 100 volunteers engaged and the completion of a successful Crowdfunder, the project is well underway, but there is more to do! To get ‘InVOLEd’ (!!) contact them at hello@citizenzoo.org
Citizen Zoo is a hugely exciting UK based social enterprise that seeks to protect and restore wild spaces and get people out into nature. Check out the great work they’re doing here: https://www.citizenzoo.org/
The Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST)
The waters around Britain house some truly special marine habitats, but few more so than those found around the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. The Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST) is a grassroots organisation that has been working tirelessly for over 25 years to ensure the region’s marine environment thrives. Amongst a host of pioneering conservation work, they were responsible for the creation of Scotland’s first, and the UK’s only, community-led No Take Zone (NTZ), which has allowed almost 375 football fields worth of ocean habitat in Lamlash Bay to be entirely protected from all fishing and extraction. The NTZ now sits within the South Arran Marine Protected Area, established in 2016, which excludes scallop dredging and limits prawn trawling activity. These protected areas encourage natural regeneration of habitats and the recovery of wildlife populations. To read more or support COAST, please visit their website! https://www.arrancoast.com/'
