Rewilding in Gloucestershire
Nature reserves
Rewilding takes many different shapes and sizes. While some would have you believe that rewilding is all about the reintroduction of megafauna, the reality is far more nuanced than that. Rewilding is a philosophy, at the heart of which lies a belief in co-existence with wildlife and respect for the eco-system in which we play an integral part and rely upon.
The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust runs several exceptional nature reserves where regeneration of the landscape and protection of endemic species is key to their efforts. Escorted by expert guides, visit Daneway Banks to learn about the conservation efforts to help the rare large blue butterfly, visit Siccaridge Woods to find out about the National Dormouse Monitoring Scheme or explore the Forest of Dean to discover more about Project Pine Marten.
