The Rewilding Collective's aim is to enable ecosystems to flourish through supporting groups of people to buy and rewild land together.
This could happen in three different ways -
Again, this might happen in a number of different ways -
Intensively-grazed, 'low quality' agricultural land is ideal because significant increases in biodiversity are possible, and there's minimal loss to national food production.
By purchasing shares in The Rewilding Collective Community Benefit Society you and your group become co-owners of your rewilding site.
We are preparing legal and financial toolkits to support your understanding and your purchase process.
We support groups to establish fair, effective and resilient organising and decision making processes through the adoption of sociocracy - a governance system created to empower communities.
We envisage that some groups that form will already have valuable rewilding knowledge, and that others will need more support.
Together a strategy for your site will be established.
Shareholders who want to can volunteer for hands on tasks on the land.
Over time this will mean the very rewarding experience of seeing your labour enabling wildlife to return to and flourish on the land.
Groups may also invite local environmental and community groups to join in where extra labour is needed.
