UK nature projects to be celebrated on Global Rewilding Day

The drive to restore ecosystems has resulted in Saturday's worldwide celebration, with many British habitats to support

Lake-wading water buffalo in Suffolk, forests of waist-high wee trees" on Scottish mountain peaks, and even the idea of lynx roaming Northumberland. These are just a fraction of the nature projects being given a push by the rewilding movement in the UK, and which will be marked by the first Global Rewilding Day on the spring equinox on Saturday.

Backed by the Global Rewilding Alliance, an umbrella group for organisations in more than 70 countries that are looking to restore ecosystems by returning land to nature, the day will be celebrated with virtual events to share knowledge, skills and connections.
