Our Impact

Birds are returning, ponds are holding new life and young trees are taking root where the land was once tired. For over 15 years and across the UK, Make It Wild founders have been taking direct action to regenerate land and restore biodiversity, through creating wild woodlands and wetlands, restoring meadows and giving wildlife the space it needs to come back.

Why Nature Needs This Now

74% of wildlife has been lost since 1970. We are working to change that.

The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. But when land is restored, wildlife returns. We see it in our woodlands, meadows, and hedgerows every year.
 


Restoring nature takes time, care, and long term commitment. That is what we do.

Make Your Impact

Make It Wild has existed since 2010, to restore land and rebuild wildlife across the UK.

We do this through practical, long term habitat creation, woodland planting, conservation grazing, and carbon offsetting. When people or organisations support our work, they are not making an abstract donation. They are taking part in real landscape restoration and receiving clear acknowledgement of their role in it. Our model is rooted in action, participation, and visible outcomes on the land.

For Landowners

Turn unproductive land into a thriving habitat with support that blends ecological know-how and genuine care for your site.

Our UK rewilding sites, nature reserves and wild spaces

From the Yorkshire moors to Norfolk wetlands and the quiet corners in between, every Make It Wild site is cared for with steady, thoughtful attention. And yes, some of them even come with resident barn owls.

What We Do

Restoring UK habitats to help wildlife thrive

Real change begins with hands-on work. Planting trees, restoring meadows, creating ponds and caring for land. When we get that right, nature does the rest.
