At Make it Wild, our intentions are to:
We will run our business responsibly, and sustainably. Any profits will be used to fulfill our intentions above. We will plant trees, dig ponds, restore wild-flower hay meadows and protect ancient woodland!
In 2022 we became members of ORB, The Organisation for Responsible Businesses, and pledged the following:
“We pledge to operate our business in an honest and ethical manner; to consider people and the environment when making business decisions; and endeavour to make a positive contribution to the local community and society at large.”
In 2023 we decided to make our deep connection with Nature even more explicit, by having a chair for Nature at our Land Management Meetings, and to ask each other “What would nature say?” about decisions we are making. This was inspired by Faith in Nature, who have a place on their board for Nature.
Our Carbon Mitigation through Tree Planting scheme is a way we can help businesses and individuals who wish to support the planet. We encourage you to reduce your carbon footprint as much as you can. If you wish to offset any that remains, we will plant trees for you! Our new subscription plans make it really easy.
Our new and growing range of activities is based in the woods and on the land at Sylvan Nature Reserve, Bank Woods, and Heather Lea. They are all designed to bring you to a closer connection with nature.
The short film below tells a little more about the story behind Make it Wild. We hope you enjoy it!
