Youth-led nature recovery

Our Dual Mission
1. Accelerate nature recovery in the UK
2. Involve young people in the process and the movement
Why it's important
The Problem
The UK's ecological health is in the bottom 10% on Earth. And 4 in 5 UK young people are eager to take environmental action, while only 1 in 5 believe they are being listened to on environmental issues.
Our Approach
We tackle the UK's dire ecology and young people's lack of involvement together. By working with landowners and partner organisations, we facilitate accessible, youth-led nature recovery projects across the UK.
All of our nature recovery projects are conceived, designed and delivered by young people aged 18-30 years. They provide local young people with hands-on experience in nature recovery work, the opportunity to feel more connected to nature and each other, and to have agency in the face of the environmental crisis.
We also run a mix of experimental youth engagement and movement building activities, including an Artist in Residence Programme and our bi-annual Youth Rewilding Summit 'Overgrowth'.
