About Us
editReWild 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.
