Twenty years ago, Knepp was struggling farmland on heavy Sussex clay. Today, it is one of the most significant (and famous!) biodiversity hotspots in the UK. That transformation didn’t come from intensifying control. It came from relinquishing it. By allowing natural processes to return - thorny scrub to spread, deadwood to remain, grazing animals to […]
Last week, the BBC revealed the Denton Universal Award - the largest single source of public art funding in the UK. Its ambition is beautifully simple and quietly radical: to fund free, accessible works that anyone can experience. No tickets. No barriers. No velvet ropes. The first recipient is Andy Goldsworthy , awarded £200,000 to […]
One of the biggest misconceptions about rewilding is that it’s all or nothing. Either you’re restoring vast landscapes… Or you’re not really helping. In reality, rewilding works because of consistency. What we’ve learned from our projects In Devon, progress doesn’t come from dramatic moments. It comes from returning, observing, adjusting and letting ecosystems develop over […]

There’s a quiet kind of climate paralysis that comes from good intentions. We know the problem is big. We know individual action isn’t everything . So we wait. For better systems. Bigger change. Someone else to go first. But here’s the thing: rewilding doesn’t wait for perfection. Small, imperfect, local actions still count Every rewilding project starts imperfectly. There’s always uncertainty. […]
A LettsSafari preview of our definitive ecotone guide coming next week - the simple “soft transitions” method that makes small spaces richer, wilder, and more alive. Most gardens are designed like spreadsheets: lawn here, border there, fence at the back, patio at the front, neat boxes with hard edges. But nature doesn’t work like that. […]
Most cities weren’t designed with wildlife in mind. They were designed for speed, density, efficiency. And yet nature keeps turning up anyway. In cracks > on rooftops > along forgotten edges. Running rewilding projects in Devon has taught us something important: nature doesn’t need an invitation written in planning permission language. It just needs opportunity. Our […]

Rewilding often gets framed as something vast and rural. Big landscapes. Big funding. Big, muddy boots. But here’s what we’ve learned running rewilding projects at LettsSafari : nature doesn’t actually need very much to get started. Sometimes it just needs a pot. A ledge. A corner that’s allowed to grow a little wild. The power of […]
