Join the European Rewilding Network

Connect with 100+ field rewilding initiatives The European Rewilding Network (ERN) links action-focused projects across 30+ countries so members swap know-how on species comebacks, community engagement, and natural grazing. What you can do - Explore members on the ERN map and list - If you run a long-term rewilding initiative, apply via the network application form (contact ern@rewildingeurope.com) - Attend Rewilding Intros webinars and member exchanges listed on Rewilding Europe's channels What members gain - Peer connections across Europe, quarterly ERN Updates, and promotion through Rewilding Europe communications - Access to facilities such as the Natural Grazing Facility and European Wildlife Comeback Fund when criteria are met Why it matters Landscape-scale change spreads faster when practitioners learn from each other's wins and honest failures.

Open an inclusive makerspace and learning lab

Teach fabrication skills in a room where beginners belong Fab City links local hubs where residents learn CNC, textiles, electronics, and repair side by side. The Learning Hub shares toolkits so any neighbourhood can start an open workshop with equity at the centre. What you can do - Explore Fab City as a Learning Ecosystem and the Hubs Toolkit for your city - Browse open resources on fab.city/learning-hub for curricula and governance patterns - Join the Fab City network when your group is ready to commit to local production How it works A hub maps tools, trainers, and partner schools. Open days invite residents who rarely access STEM spaces. Projects document designs so knowledge travels across the network. Why it matters Makerspaces turn consumers into builders. Inclusive labs widen who gets to shape the objects and systems they live with.
