Urban Rewilding at Derby's Allestree Park

Britain's largest urban rewilding project has just received £1.1m in National Lottery funding. How is the project going? How does it compare to other LettsSafari parks? And how can you get involved?

Set within 320 acres on the northern edge of Derby City, Allestree Park aims to become a symbol of rewilding in the UK. The community rewilding project hopes to become the largest public urban rewilding park in Britain, and offers an interesting opportunity for us to discuss the nature of publicly funded rewilding projects, but more importantly the essential steps required for rewilding success. It can also help us learn from and better understand the difference between LettsSafari and certain other projects.
