On 17th and 18th June 2023, my husband Jamie Macdonald and I will be hosting the second Wilding Weekend at our home in Dorset. Find out more about it here.
WE WILL BE SUPPORTING – THE NATIONAL GARDEN SCHEME
Ticket sales will be donated to the National Garden Scheme (NGS) charities. Here’s a link to their page about the Weekend.
AND OPERATION FUTURE HOPE
Money raised from food, drink, and other sales will be donated to Operation Future Hope. They promote wilding in schools and provide online environmental and ecological training courses for young students. They’ve also just published the Rewilding Manual for Schools.

SPONSORSHIP FROM CLIPPER TEAS
We’re excited to announce that Clipper Teas have kindly agreed to sponsor the Wilding Weekend. They say that the initiative aligns with one of their key missions – to support biodiversity. And, we’re based a few miles from their headquarters in Beaminster.
Clipper Teas will be serving teas and coffees from their special van – and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Operation Future Hope. They’re also sponsoring a Wilding Weekend video and photographs. Thank you!
