We are a nature restoration project, restoring habitats and species across a large area in Mid Wales, grazing with wild horses to enhance biodiversity. In this unique wild setting, we run programmes supporting disadvantaged children and adults to connect with nature and improve wellbeing.

Situation
The destruction of nature across the world is continuing, with loss of wild habitats and declining wildlife. The UK is one of the worst performing countries for biodiversity. The disconnection of people from nature is enabling this situation and creating problems for individuals and society. Children are not spending enough time being active outdoors. Mental and physical health can be adversely affected for all age groups by insufficient time spent in nature.
Solution
We will reverse the decline of nature by restoring ecosystems on our land and expanding the project area. Our horses graze rank grass, enabling heathland plants to flourish and aiding the restoration of peat bogs. They open up the ground for wild flowers and trees to colonise, attracting insects, birds and mammals. The wildlife and natural setting enable us to offer rich nature connection experiences, practising mindfulness and learning skills, with a deep connection to the land and the animals.
