Be Part of Team Wilder

Research shows that if just one person in every four takes up a cause, this can be enough to change the minds and behaviour of the majority. Imagine what we could achieve if that cause was nature: if a quarter of people in Beds, Cambs and Northants created more space for wildlife to bring back what we’ve lost.

That’s our goal: to harness the collective energy and talents of our county and bring everyone together into a bigger, bolder movement for nature’s recovery. We’re calling this TeamWilder.

“I am really excited to be leading such an amazing project which will benefit not only communities but also our local wildlife. Our nature has been declining in recent years and it’s time that we all do our bit to bring nature back from the brink and see it thriving again. Connecting and caring for nature in our three counties will not only help our wildlife but improve lives in our local communities.

Through Team Wilder communities will be supported to take action and care for wildlife where they live, learn, and work. No matter what the action every small step can make a huge difference and help to change the fate of nature. The Team Wilder movement will create vital corridors across towns, cities and countryside for wildlife and form part of a network of natural havens linking urban green spaces together with habitats across the three counties.

My role is to advise and support anybody who wants to join the Team Wilder movement. Whether it’s helping your community learn more about nature, or creating a wildlife area we are here to help guide and give you lots of advice from experts all over our trust. If you have an idea, but are not sure where to start then please do get in touch!”
