Project rewild
Rewilding children, families and communities
NATURE LED LEARNING & PLAY COMMUNITY GROUP BASED IN HASTINGS
“We are nature, we belong in nature, all of us, for the human spirit has a primal allegiance to wildness.
We may think we are domesticated but we are not, we are feral in pheromone and intuition, feral in our sweat and fear, we desire and crave wildness because it is what we are.. wild! And connected to this beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable world. Physically, physiologically and spiritually there is no separation.
Yet, the current global crisis is driving us further away from our already fragile bond with our true wild nature.
— Luke Funnell - Founder and Director Project Rewild

Rewilding: “The planned reintroduction of a species into a habitat from which it has disappeared in an effort to increase biodiversity and restore the health of an ecosystem” Merriam - Webster dictionary definition
Project Rewild has been set up to reintroduce children, adults, families and communities back into the wild, into a habitat from which we have almost completely disappeared; nature, the great outdoors!
Our mission is to foster deep emotional connections with the natural world and to help everyone rediscover their true wild nature.
