  • Failure to rewild could cost the Church of England

    Failure to rewild could cost the Church of England

    In this article, we explain four key risks the Church Commissioners face if they fail to meet 30×30, and what they can do to avoid them.

  • Rewilding Species of the Month: Dragonflies

    Rewilding Species of the Month: Dragonflies

    One of the highlights of our visit to the Moor Barton rewilding project was when we entered a newly created wetland area and were met with a flurry of odonata activity (dragonflies and damselflies). It was a sign that this is truly a landscape that is working for nature.

  • The Wild Cardigan Moor Barton Meet Up

    The Wild Cardigan Moor Barton Meet Up

    A couple of times a year, to ensure that we are more to one another than disembodied heads behind a zoom screen, the Wild Cardigans physically zoom in from across the UK for a real life meet up. Whilst this provides opportunity for us to get into substantial discussions and to plan ahead for the…

  • World Environment Day Vigil and Prayers

    World Environment Day Vigil and Prayers

    On the eve of World Environment Day 2025, members of Christian Climate Action gathered outside Church House to pray and reflect on our shared calling to serve and protect the Earth, and to deliver a letter asking the Church Commissioners to commit to rewilding 30% of the land in their care by 2030. This is…

  • Rewilding Species of the Month: The Otter

    Rewilding Species of the Month: The Otter

    The otter has quite rightly earned its place in the rewilding species of the month spotlight. In both literature and folklore, otters are often presented as helpful souls: coming to the rescue and giving support in a character’s hour of need. Now, as the planet warms, we are finding that they are living up to…

  • Ancient Woodland Restoration Film

    Ancient Woodland Restoration Film

    Last week saw the premier of a new film (embedded above) from our friends at Woods for the Trees. The film, entitled ‘Ancient Woodland Restoration: The Story of Light and Life’, is incredibly relevant to our latest campaign to restore the Ghost Woods – ancient woodland which haunts Forestry England’s plantation forests. The film premiered…

  • Hope for the Ghost Woods

    Hope for the Ghost Woods

    Our hope for the ghost woods lies in their restoration. In these dark plantation forests, the spirit of the ancient woods still remains, desperate to make a comeback and reawaken the flowers, trees and fungi which can best sustain our native wildlife. You can read more about how they came into being in our blog…

  • Which Woodland: A Clear Choice for Biodiversity

    Which Woodland: A Clear Choice for Biodiversity

    There’s no denying that England needs timber, and therefore timber plantations. But how do these plantations stack up for biodiversity when compared to ancient woodlands?

  • The Way the Woods Were Lost

    The Way the Woods Were Lost

    Across England, thousands of acres of silent plantations are haunted by ghosts. Once quintessentially English woodland, alive with butterflies and bluebells, wood anemones and wild garlic, these woodlands have become ghost woods, suffocating beneath the dark, evergreen canopy of conifer tree farms. 

  • Rewilding Species of the Month: Bluebells

    Rewilding Species of the Month: Bluebells

    One of the best things to do at this time of year is to head down paths that run alongside fields of bluebells and take in their beautiful scent. For those of us lucky enough to be on the nicer side of social media, springtime just wouldn’t be the same without images of violet-blue carpeted…
