WILDING

Almost everyone has an opinion about wilding – and it’s rarely the same. I’ve now joined the fray by encouraging more birds, bees and biodiversity. Working with Operation Future Hope, we’ve restoring ponds, made banks, planted trees, created wildflower meadows and so much more. Here are blogs and vlogs about what we’ve been doing and other wilding related posts. .
