What is urban rewilding? Can it be done in cities? Is anyone doing it?
In this episode, we explore:
- History of the rewilding concept
- Current best practice in rewilding
- How rewilding can be applied to cities
- Case studies of active and passive rewilding in urban areas around the world

Corrections:
We made a few small errors in this podcast. Around 24:00, Giulia says Sequoia tree seeds come in 'pine nuts' when she meant to say 'cones' (you can see how her mind was working...).
Around 40:00, Ross says Rewilding Enfield is along the River Lea, when it is actually on the other side of the Borough in Enfield Chase (sorry, Londoners...).
Thanks for listening!
