    Musings from the 1st Rewild NJ Gathering!

    By: Francesca Mundrick, Founder & Executive Director The goal of Rewild NJ has always been to build culture and community around shared ideas and practices that help us to reclaim sovereignty. The first Rewild NJ Gathering was a celebration of this philosophy. Our Gathering contributes to the work of millions of people around the world…

  • Suburban Monoculture in the Garden State

    Suburban Monoculture in the Garden State

    By: Vincent Palmieri, Advisory Board Member How do we make something that seems like a chore, to be something do-able? Convenience is key for most Americans – and a way of life for many of us. In a recent discussion at our Rewild Gathering, I’ve been prompted by Dr. John Hasse’s thoughts and dialogue on…

  • Holnicote Estate Rewilding

    Holnicote Estate Rewilding

    By: Leslie Gunnett, Advisory Board Member One of the less obvious benefits of rewilding is drought resistance. I recently scrolled past a headline about rewilding areas in the UK resisting drought, so I had to dive down the rabbit hole and learn more about it. The UK and Ireland have been in drought conditions since…

  • The View from 3rd Mountain: Anarchism

    The View from 3rd Mountain: Anarchism

    By: Derek Polzer, Advisory Board Member When we hear the word anarchy or anarchism, we tend to associate it with violence, chaos, or disorder most often used in a political context. Too often anarchism is mistaken for nihilism! I’d like to suggest that Anarchism is neither “Right nor Left”, as understood in our current political…

    Jane Goodall Revisited “Think Local, Act Local”

    By: Vincent Palmieri, Advisory Board Member Jane Goodall is widely recognized as a pioneer and the godmother of modern environmentalism in American culture and beyond. Nearly eight months after her passing on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91, much has already changed in the societal trajectory before us. Her influential publications speak for…

    Localization: The Coming Fundamental Change in Our Society

    The localization movement, occurring all over the world, is gaining traction. The application of this movement will fundamentally change our society in a way that the elite class does not want. Localization is interchangeable with Community Rewilding- these two disciplines go hand in hand and provide the same result- sovereignty for people. Localization represents the…

  • Weapons of Mass Destruction

    Weapons of Mass Destruction

    By: Dare Euler, Rewild NJ Movement Member Weapons of Mass Destruction. What images come to mind? Bombed cities, twisted bodies, virus-stricken civilians, poisoned waters?  Take a drive. Check the roadsides. There you will see the detritus of a WMD we familiarly call the family car. In the past year I have seen the mangled remains…

  • Winter Woods

    Winter Woods

    By: Dare Euler, Rewild NJ Movement Member Leaves, those productive energy factories of spring and summer, lay crunchy on the ground at the mercy of blasts from northern winds. They tumble at the base of the trees they nurtured. White almost sepulchral limbs of sycamores claw at gray skies.  Yet in what at first glance…

  • Native American Heritage Month – “Not November Yet”

    Native American Heritage Month – “Not November Yet”

    By: Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis, Advisory Board Member November is known as Native American Heritage Month; and during this month, there is of course a high demand of presentations, lectures, teachings, performances, and correcting history of Indigenous People throughout all of Turtle Island. Let us start by saying that this is very appreciated, as our…

  • Consistent Walks in Local Ecosystems

    Consistent Walks in Local Ecosystems

    By: Amanda Tarrach, Outreach & Engagement Intern I find that reconnecting with nature through simple actions in local environments is one of the best ways to understand rewilding. When I slow down and take a walk through the woods, I am able to recognize the plants, animals, and ecosystem that exists around me, and further…
