Our Locations

Every project starts with a specific place and a long-term commitment to care for it properly. From woodland creation to wetland restoration and meadow recovery, each site responds to its own landscape and wildlife.

Where We Work

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.
