We work with nature to fight the biodiversity crisis, to halt the extinction of species and to create resilient habitats in which nature thrives. We focus on nature-based solutions to return native species and recreating truly wild spaces.Rewilding, through the reintroduction of keystone species, is the most powerful tool we have. These animals change the landscape by creating the space and complexity for hundreds of other species to recover and thrive. Wildwood’s experience and expertise in working with native species means we can work effectively across the UK in many projects.From humble beginnings in breeding and releasing small mammals we’ve built up an impressive portfolio of native species reintroductions.Through effective partnership working, we have introduced European Bison to Kent for the first time in the UK, with the aim of restoring 600 hectares of ancient woodland.We are helping return the European Beaver back to Britain as part of a fenland restoration project.In 2023 we successfully released the first group red-billed chough, a culturally iconic species, to the skies above Dover; the first time the chough has been wild in Kent for over 200 years.
