Jan Stannard said: "This is a chance for those of us who are determined to reverse nature and wildlife declines to come together to talk about how we can all make a difference.

"The event will be of interest to rewilding and wildlife professionals, students, campaigners, landowners and anyone who wants to find out more about the principles of rewilding or is seeking answers in the face of nature and climate decline in the UK."

"I’ll also talk about some of the amazing changes we’ve witnessed at the Heal site in less than two years and show some stunning images."

Tickets are £10 and can be bought through the charity’s website.
