Practice Community Rewilding
What is Community Rewilding?
Community Rewilding is an approach that re-establishes the connection between local environments and the people who live there. Community Rewilding counterbalances modern challenges through scalable rewilding efforts that support nature and people in homes, schools, churches, parks, and more. Community Rewilding promotes sovereignty by shifting power back to local people who steward local environments and maximize local resources. Combining Conservation Rewilding and Human Rewilding, Community Rewilding in practice works to Rewild Land, restore nature, and Rewild Self, transform people, creating a physical, social, and spiritual change in our daily lives.
