Land Management
(Rewilding)

'Rewilding' as a concept, is a progressive approach to conservation allowing nature to take care of itself. Intensive farming and an exponential growth in human population worldwide has had a catastrophic impact on nature, endangering the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world.
​
The Moor To Life model is an innovative, impactful and forward thinking solution to land management. Our unique "Living Classroom" concept adopts the principles of regenerative land management with nature based therapy and outdoor, explorative education 'Rewilding' as a concept is a relatively broad term used to describe the process of restoring ecosystems to be self sustaining where nature takes care of its self.
Our hugely unique cross pollinated "Living Classroom" education model is the first of its kind in the UK and in a very short period of operation, our program is recognised as one of the most sought after AP's in Devon with an extensive waiting list. Equally, our wider community impact is quickly becoming noticed with a number of land owners and experts reaching out to support our vision and adopt our model. What sets Moor To Life apart is our 'Consultant Network' of renowned scientific, ecological, educational and specialist consultants.
The 600acre Kitley Estate that overlooks the Yealm Estuary, is an area of outstanding natural beauty and includes a range of habitats like no other such as ancient woodland, meadows and marshland, gardens and a private lake. There are some species of wildlife that can be easily spotted on the estate such waterfowl, foxes, pheasants, roe deer and some species of birds of prey however numbers have declined in recent years for many reasons. Our ambitious plans to populate the Estates wildlife density commenced with the introduction of Dartmoor Ponies which has been transformative. In September of this year we released fifty grey partridge as part of our plans to control their rapid decline. As the UK's only indigenous ground nesting bird, it is imperative that we do what we can to increase their numbers.

The opportunity for our 'Rewilding' project is not only essential for wildlife on the estate to thrive but also plays an important part in the biodiversity of the landscape.
There would also be important socio-economic benefits to rewilding the estate for the local community. These benefits include employment opportunities, nature based enterprises, nature tours and of course education trips not to mention all the wellbeing advantages of being "in nature" for those who visit.

To have a live project on this scale for our students to engage in will be incredibly unique.
