Rewilding in Wicklow!

Maria has a substantial land holding that she wants to rewild but high deer numbers are preventing any natural regeneration of trees

Rewilding is not all about trees and forests!

Many rewilding sites explode with flower abundance and diversity after the removal of livestock 🌼

Yes, Kilcormac Esker

Doesn't it look full of life?

Yes, excellent

Rewilding in Offaly!

What do you advise a landowner with beautiful native woodland and where deer or other grazers are not a problem? 🤩

A small milestone for Rewild! as we pass the first 100 hectares pledged for rewilding in Ireland!

Less is Moormore <p>Letting nature lead can be difficult. In our nature-depleted landscapes, it is often hard for conservationists to relinquish control, to allow wild nature to develop in whichever way it chooses. Bu...

Ireland's nature heroes: I've rewilded five acres, and here are others doing similar work Rewilding five acres of land has brought Jack Morley of The Rewild Life the opportunity to meet so many other people making a difference for nature.

Thanks to Jack Morley for this shout out for our work 🙏

Rewilding Dingle!

This is Slea Head, the western most point of the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry.

So far, this is the most westerly rewilding project in our network!

Such a great pleasure to see Pádraic @whittledaway.bsky.social in action advising some of the increasing numbers of people who want to rewild their land, in this instance near Kenmare.

There's *nothing* better you can do for nature.

Rewilding in Kerry!

Ed and Francis have beautiful Atlantic rainforest on their land which they want protected.

Delighted to be joined today by @irishrainforest.bsky.social

What happened to the golden eagles reintroduced to Co Donegal? Two decades on, breeding success is poor and the golden eagle's future in Ireland is uncertain so what went wrong?

"Real rewilding is about more than simply "putting animals back" and "letting nature take its course". It is about putting systems back: predators, prey, plants and the processes that connect them"

Many people wonder what rewilding means... or even if it means anything at all!

But the principles are critically important in addressing the biodiversity crisis and are laid out well here by Rewilding Europe.

More rewilding in Wexford!

Or is it rewilding?

This landowner is grazing a horse on a pasture in a way that is allowing scrub expansion with quite a lot of floral diversity.

Have you deer?

Rewilding in Wexford!

What will this field look like in 5 or 10 years time without any grazing animals?

Feel the power.

And let it transport you to another time, when Ireland was mostly a wild rainforest, with lynx, boar, wolves, bears...

Then imagine bringing just a little of that back. We can do it. #Rewilding

Rewilding in Galway!

This field is not being deliberately rewilded. Rather, the farming has ceased and the neighbouring forest is moving in.

Abandonment may, or may not, be good for nature. Much better would be if the landowner were getting a payment to ensure that the outcome is good.

Pádraic Fogarty (@whittledaway.bsky.social)'s rewilding consultancy is SO badly needed and positive for Irish nature.

I honestly feel it'll be a real game-changer. 🌍

Such has been the success that we found Ireland's only protected species of insect, the marsh fritillary butterfly 🦋

Rewilding success!

Rewilding in Mayo!

Jonathan has spent 30 years rewilding what was a barren grazing pasture - now a rich combination of native forest and recovering bog...

I'll be in the Museum of Literature (posh!) this evening at 6:30 talking about rewilding. Entry is free.

Looks can be deceiving

Nearly all the trees in this beautiful forest are non-native sycamores. Many forests in Ireland, even outside of plantations, are dominated by non-native species and so their biodiversity is limited.

This land owner has a storm damaged conifer plantation that is going to be cleared and replanted with native trees 🌳

Rewilding in Longford!

How Wildlife Tourism Can Help Us Coexist with Carnivores Rewilding needs apex predators – but they can cause challenges for locals. In Montana, one community is making this work.

Rewilding needs top carnivores.

What happens when a hedgerow goes unmanaged?

If there are no grazing animals it bursts into the fields... ultimately becoming native forest!

Do you feel deep anger, impotence, despair, at what is being done to the natural world on which we all depend?

Support rewilding, in whatever way you can.
