WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
On this site you will find material covering a wide range of topics surrounding the idea of reconnecting with nature. As an individual I am fascinated by the natural world and humanities’ place in it. Here you will find factual content, interesting recipes, new ideas and opinions, and documentation of my own personal forays and adventures in pursuit of reconnecting with the land, its wildlife and culture.
WHO AM I?
My name is Archie. I’m a zoology masters graduate with a fascination for the outdoors, wildlife, and our relationship with nature as human beings. I work as an educator teaching a diverse range of people about the natural world, history, geology, and geography. As a science communicator my main aim is to educate as many people as I can, which is why I have chosen to produce educational material and videos online to reach as wide an audience as possible.
WHAT IS REWILDING?
In its simplest form rewilding is a philosophy which seeks to restore and heal nature by returning it to a more balanced and natural state. In conservation this often means habitat restoration through the re-introduction of species that are missing from an ecosystem or the removal of human influence on natural landscapes. But I feel that this concept is also applicable to people’s everyday lives, finding ways to reconnect with nature through understanding our own biology and cultural history. Benefiting us physically and mentally whilst being kind to the planet in the process.
