The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. Nature is in decline and we are only now waking up to the consequences meaning we have a huge mountain to climb. The need has never been greater and the urgency never more understood, but we must act together. Grow Wilder has been a force for positive change for ten years, having welcomed thousands of people through its doors to learn how to act for nature. We know what we do works but we also know we must increase reach.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of connecting people to nature and empowering them to make a difference in their own communities and Grow Wilder is perfectly placed to do that. If we can increase our capacity to deliver our work, we can enable nature to recover on a grand scale by growing wilder food, growing wilder gardens and growing wilder people. We have the solution.
