About
ReWild Yourself is a Voice For Nature Foundation initiative designed to bring out our collective inner wilderness by strengthening our connection with Nature.
It was founded by David de Rothschild and Katie McLaurin amid growing scientific evidence of the profoundly positive impact that Nature has on human mental and physical well-being.
Access to Nature remains deeply inequitable, and seeing their young families benefit from being outdoors redoubled David and Katie’s lifelong belief that every child deserves those benefits.
ReWild Yourself launched with commissioned research, and 2 successful summer camps bringing inner city kids to wild places.
The camps evolved into an ongoing programme, as well as a series of city guides that have helped thousands to connect with Nature in urban settings.
Embedded in ReWild Yourself is a belief that when people fall in love with Nature, they want to protect it. The team works with experts, practitioners, established organisations, community groups and individuals to create tools and experiences to help make Nature available to all.
In recent years, ReWild Yourself has:
– Launched the Champions programme to showcase the work of inspiring individuals from around the globe who use their unique talents to lead the way towards reconnecting humans with Nature. Since then, the programme continues to expand and grow a network of mission-driven people championing Nature.
– Delivered multiple ‘in Nature’ experiences, created an award winning website, designed a wealth of beautiful educational resources, Nature Guides (for London, New York, Seoul, Mexico City, Montreal, Ljubljana), as well as a suite of activity books and online content as part of the award winning ‘It’s Time to ReWild Yourself’ campaign.
– Most recently, it is helping bridge the Nature connection gap through a community-focused 3-year-long project, the ReWild Yourself Community Hubs. Its mission is to regenerate Nature, people, and places through the establishment of new forests, the ERANDA Forests, and innovative workshops through the ReWild Yourself Community Programme.

The views, opinions, and activities of ReWild Yourself Champions, contributors, collaborators, and other third parties featured by the ReWild Yourself campaign or the Voice for Nature Foundation are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the campaign, the Foundation, or any affiliated entities. While we celebrate and support the work of these individuals, their actions and expressions remain independent and are not endorsed by, or representative of, ReWild Yourself or the Voice for Nature Foundation.
We work with organisations that help forge a deeper human connection to Nature. This could be national parks, forest makers, non-profits, museums, publications – you name it!
Each of the ReWild Yourself organisations on the “ReWilder” page have been chosen for their on-the-ground work in their communities. We currently have 6 categories that define the organisations – Community, Green Spaces, National Parks, NGO, partners and youth organisations. As this is a growing network, we are always open to adding more categories, please get in touch if you have an idea!
Voice for Nature Foundation and all organisations listed are separate entities and have no affiliation. This website is an place to easily access Nature experiences and knowledge, but Voice for Nature Foundation is not paid by these organisations to advertise and do not subsidise them either.
No – we welcome all organisations and experiences including those that are fee-based, though we would like to offer as many experiences as possible that are accessible for all regardless of financial position. Please get in touch if you have further or specific questions about this.
Our organisations are located all over the world. We have lots already listed and more appearing as we grow – eventually we will have many organisations all over our interactive map.
If the organisation serves the vision of ReWild Yourself, yes!
We would love to hear from any organisation who might want to be included in this online network. Please reach out to us with a detailed email about you or your organisation and we will be in touch.
Organisations are currently listed without any fee.
Of course! Recommendations are wonderful for us. Please contact us with further information.
That’s correct, we aim to bring all local services to people with the zoom-in feature of the map, so you’ll be listed in several locations.
