Combating climate change and conservation are not separate aims.
Restoring woodland, rebuilding habitats, and managing land will draw carbon from the atmosphere while creating the conditions wildlife needs to recover. Our approach connects climate action with biodiversity gain, ensuring that carbon offsetting is rooted in real landscapes and long term stewardship rather than abstract accounting.
A 26-acre field in North Yorkshire is bought to give something back to nature. The first 20,000 trees are planted.
Woodlands establish. Ponds are dug. Wildflowers return. Insects, birds and mammals follow.
The success of the first site leads to the creation of Make It Wild, with a commitment to repeat this work elsewhere.
Make It Wild now manages and restores over 600 acres across multiple UK sites, working with individuals, businesses, volunteers and landowners to support biodiversity recovery.
