Inspiring stories from people restoring nature
Make It Wild offers engaging talks for businesses and community groups, delivered
by co-founders Helen and Christopher Neave.
We share honest, hopeful stories from lives shaped by the land. From leaving established careers to restoring habitats and rethinking how we farm, these talks explore what it really means to take action for nature in the UK.
They are thoughtful, accessible and grounded in real places, offering inspiration for businesses and communities who want to care for nature in practical, lasting ways.

Start Volunteering with Make it Wild
Volunteering with Make It Wild is a chance to spend time outdoors, do something
genuinely useful, and be part of nature’s recovery.
Our volunteers support practical conservation work on real land, from caring for
young trees and wildflowers to helping habitats recover and wildlife return. Time is
spent on our nature reserves in beautiful Yorkshire landscapes, working alongside
others who care about nature and enjoy being outside.
You don’t need experience. We’ll guide you, provide what you need, and adapt tasks
so everyone can take part. What matters is showing up, giving a bit of time, and
leaving the land better than you found it.
