Biodiversity and healthy ecosystems are crucial for the survival of all life on earth. But nature is under threat, not least in the UK where we are one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. And as a consequence, we are also increasingly disconnected from nature.

With funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, this Nottingham-based pilot focuses on restoring nature into spaces where staff and students work and learn. It is a partnership between the University of Nottingham, Nottingham College and Bluecoat Aspley Academy.

Over two years, the collaborative Wilding Campuses project aims to increase the abundance and diversity of threatened species on and around our campuses. Crucially, it will also empower you to reconnect with nature and tackle the ecological crisis through practical skills sessions, and engagement and wellbeing activities.

The Wilding Campus project will tie in with work already underway to enhance and protect our beautiful green spaces for the benefit of all. As part of the Wild Campuses project, the university has committed to rewilding 15% of our land.
