The woods and wilds are my happy place. Being a part of Project Rewild has reconnected me with the natural world and a wonderful community of people. It is a truly inspiring company to work for, bringing communities together to fall in love with nature again.

I worked with Project Rewild when moving back to the area and felt an instant sense of community and connection. It doesn’t feel like work, but more like being immersed in something special where you are free from your average working confines. It is amazing being outdoors and having fun, whilst learning new skills and feeling part of a project that is for the greater good and has grown from a place of love and nurture

Working, (if you can call it that) for Project Rewild is fun, playful and best of all, allows you to give something back to the community. It’s a great feeling.
