Rewilding Europe’s brand new free online rewilding course – which can be signed up to today – will empower you with rewilding knowledge and practical insights necessary to amplify nature recovery, regardless of age, background, or career.
Empowering future rewilders
Rewilding Europe is excited to announce the launch of a new, free, online rewilding course, which aims to empower future rewilders to deliver real impact. Designed to make rewilding accessible and actionable, “Introduction to Rewilding in Europe” has been created by Rewilding Europe and is hosted by the Open University in the UK. It brings together insights from leading rewilding academics and practitioners across more than 20 European countries. With their new-found knowledge and expertise, those who complete the course won’t just understand rewilding – they’ll be ready to make it happen.
“Rewilding is growing at a phenomenal rate across Europe,” says Amy Duthie, Rewilding Europe’s Head of Upscaling. “Every day we’re asked ‘how can I start rewilding?’ The truth is, everyone can be part of the rewilding movement – from poets to town planners, divers to drivers, ecologists, anthropologists, and economists. We created this course to share our experience and showcase the best rewilding efforts across Europe, so that everyone has the information and inspiration to start rewilding.”

Let’s co-create a wilder Europe
Today, we stand at a turning point. Rewilding gives us a unique and exciting opportunity to ensure nature recovery delivers game-changing impact. An opportunity to rediscover and reconnect with wild nature to improve our own health and well-being.
Every day, more and more people across Europe are grasping this opportunity. Not just because nature is amazing, but because rewilding can help us solve so many of our most pressing challenges. All those involved with European rewilding are motivated by the conviction that giving nature the space and capacity to heal itself is the best way to simultaneously address climate change, enhance biodiversity, and deliver a sustainable and prosperous world for all.
Rewilding offers hope of a world where people can thrive alongside healthy, resilient nature – if we act together, now. This course is your invitation to join the burgeoning movement to rewild Europe. Sign up and get started today!
