A highlight for me this year was the launch of @rewildyourland.bsky.social and I met dozens of people across Ireland who are already enjoying the thrill of rewilding.
There are more plans in the pipeline so here's hoping that 2026 will see rewilding go from strength to strength in Ireland!

Rewilding in West Clare!
Even small patches of rewilded land can make a difference in providing refuges for plants and animals as well as linking together networks of habitats.
Ponds are great for wildlife but with a rewilding approach we ask: does the land want to be a pond? 🐸

This land, overgazed and with dense rushes, is perfect for native forest but the landowner has been deemed ineligible for grants because it is too elevated 🤔

So much of the land in Ireland wants to be wet alder/willow forest, especially in the basin of the River Shannon.
At least this patch of land is well on its way!

A little support from authorities for the eradication of non-native trees and plants would go a long way to encourage private landowners to resuscitate important old forests like this one 🌳

Rewilding in Dublin!
There is very little native woodland in Dublin so it was great to visit landowners with mature trees and a keen interest in rewilding.
Unfortunately the evidence of overgrazing was all too present but we are hopeful that this can be addressed 🌳

So far, this is the most westerly rewilding project in our network!

Two decades on, breeding success is poor and the golden eagle's future in Ireland is uncertain so what went wrong?

Many people wonder what rewilding means... or even if it means anything at all!
But the principles are critically important in addressing the biodiversity crisis and are laid out well here by Rewilding Europe.

This landowner is grazing a horse on a pasture in a way that is allowing scrub expansion with quite a lot of floral diversity.

And let it transport you to another time, when Ireland was mostly a wild rainforest, with lynx, boar, wolves, bears...
Then imagine bringing just a little of that back. We can do it. #Rewilding

Rewilding in Galway!
This field is not being deliberately rewilded. Rather, the farming has ceased and the neighbouring forest is moving in.
Abandonment may, or may not, be good for nature. Much better would be if the landowner were getting a payment to ensure that the outcome is good.
