The Rewilding Collective
"Environmentalism in the twentieth century foresaw a silent spring, in which the further degradation of the biosphere seemed inevitable. Rewilding offers the hope of a raucous summer…" George Monbiot
We have found a great new property not far from Totnes, and invite fellow environmentalists to club together with us and purchase this lovely 25 acre property. It's the perfect property for rewilding:
~420m of a beautiful small stream with a well wooded riparian strip.
~3.5 partially spring fed water meadows providing an important wet ecosystem.
~17 acres of semi improved pasture on the valley sides, ideal for rewilding.
~3 acres nearly flat ridge with good access where we can park, occasionally camp, put
up a storage shed or small tree nursery. This area is on the edge of the property
so can be hedged off from the fully rewilded areas.
~9 acres of adjoining mature woodland providing a perfect seed source.
~1 acre lake within 100m of our boundary
Overview
The Rewilding Collective is a Charitable Community Benefit Society offering a practical route to ecological restoration. In an age where the silence of our countryside has become normalised, we are committed to establishing a network of rewilding projects, each over 100 acres, across the UK. We aim to return the hum of life to our landscapes, safeguarding biodiversity through innovative models of land access and governance.
Transforming Land Access
The Rewilding Collective’s aim is to empower the community to steward and co-own land that has previously been under private ownership. This land is frequently misused and exploited, and nature and the community suffer as a result. For those seeking a tangible environmental legacy, The Rewilding Collective offers a vehicle to invest in the restoration of British ecosystems. Rewilding and regenerative agriculture bring life and biodiversity back to the land. Threatened species can re-establish themselves, greenhouse gases are locked into soil and plants as part of a wider, healthy ecosystem.
Sociocracy
The Rewilding Collective uses an approach called Sociocracy. This helps us organise and make decisions together in a way that fosters inclusivity, participation and impactful collaboration. This is a key aspect of co-creating and maintaining our grassroots, community-based culture and intention. More details are available here.
