People’s Park for Nature Joins the Global Rewilding Alliance

People’s Park for Nature has been accepted as the latest member of Global Rewilding Alliance, a group of organisations just like us – here’s their mission statement:

“Our vision is a world where restored wild lands and seas provide a secure future for people, nature and the planet. The global community has pledged to protect at least 30% of the planet’s land and seas by 2030 – also known as 30 by 30. To achieve this goal, we need to put nature in the driver’s seat.”

They are global, we are local to the Lower Ouse Valley – but our ideas and aims match, like peas in a pod – or should that be beavers in a lodge?

We have three simple aims with the Park - to revive and restore nature, to build nature connection and to support local, nature-based businesses in the process.

Here’s Isaline Tihon of the Global Rewilding Alliance:

“From a balcony window box to a 490-acre biodynamic farming and rewilding site, what struck me most is that the People's Park for Nature speaks about every Mini Park in their network with the same pride. That sense of value, regardless of scale, is powerful. I was also really impressed by the thought and passion they bring to improving accessibility — making sure as many spaces as possible are genuinely open and welcoming to everyone.”

Alister Scott, the GRA’s Executive Director will be cutting the ribbon at our Rewilding Visitor Centre Opening in Newhaven - - - which is happening for one day only on 19 March – find out more & book your ticket here.
