There are many things you can do to support rewilding while having fun:
- Visit a member of the European Rewilding Network or a Rewilding Europe landscape. Consider booking through wilderplaces.com to make sure your visit truly benefits rewilding.
- Respect nature wherever you are. Kayak, run, swim or trek in designated areas or trails to avoid disturbing wildlife.
- Buy handicrafts, jewellery, shoes and even music from companies that support rewilding.
- Choose what you eat with rewilding in mind. Choose from sustainable local suppliers, a plant-based diet and organic options.
- If you are under 30, join the European Young Rewilders and connect with hundreds of like-minded people from across Europe.
- Subscribe to a rewilding newsletter to keep learning about opportunities in your country or connect with Rewilding Europe for Europe-wide inspiration.
