Hi @bsky.app!
We're Heal, a rewilding charity in England working to raise money, buy land and rewild it.
Our first site, Heal Somerset, was acquired in Dec 2022 and it's now a haven for skylarks, hares, glow-worms, wild-living beavers and much more. Excited to share our journey with you 💜

We had a lot of fun with last year's nature and childhood survey The Spark. In amongst the serious themes which emerged were some truly heartwarming and hilarious gems that really brought to life the joy of discovery! A final THANK YOU to everyone shared their insights and memories with us. 💚

What a transformation 😍 Because we see the land so often, it's to forget the progress we've already made. Back in 2023 this narrow river ran through a homogenous field. Fast forward to autumn 2025 and a wetland exists! This is the power of rewilding - to foster diversity, excitement and hope 💚

From abundance to absence - and all the accompanying emotions. Last summer’s The Spark survey revealed something powerful: many adults feel sadness, regret and even anger about how much the wildlife they loved as children has declined. A powerful reminder of why restoring nature matters so urgently.

We've been amazed by the scale of our pigs' rootling! Large areas have transformed as soil and roots are exposed and natural hollows form and are filled by rainwater. If you've sponsored a Heal 3x3 patch, your square could look very different from when you last visited - come and see for yourself!

What started as just a few sticks across a stream in May has already grown into a thriving beaver wetland. Storing more water creates new habitats, attracts different species and keeps the land wet year-round. And by slowing the flow of water, the beavers have reduced the risk of flooding elsewhere.

Our new mechanically created wetland restoration areas are already transforming the landscape! 🌿 Just a month after the diggers left, these beautiful wetlands are drawing in water-loving birds like redshank, teal, and even snipe - plus a flurry of dragonflies and damselflies. Rewilding in action! 🌱💧

We have a lake! 😮 The beavers have done their beavery thing and the result is astonishing. You can hear a waterfall cascading from the beaver dam, which has now been built up into a vast semi-circle holding back a barrage of water. Water rail and snipe have even been spotted here recently!
