Spring 2026

Half-day workshop on Saturday 9 May, 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm

The natural environment is under severe pressure, with many species struggling to survive. In Northern Ireland, animals like the corncrake and curlew are disappearing, and red squirrels' long-term survival is uncertain. Plants linked to wildlife meadows are also vanishing. Previous efforts such as creating parks and woodlands have not stopped the decline of wildlife. Rewilding, however, offers a progressive solution by restoring ecosystems and promoting biodiversity. Combining scientific research with practical innovation, it creates balance between the plant and animal communities. This approach can be applied in gardens, farmland, and woodlands worldwide.

This class will take place on QUB campus
