Based in UK"s East Sussex, Furnace Brook has a simple but bold idea: to heal a neglected landscape and bring it back into balance. This site has been used for centuries - a site of iron production, coppicing and intensive farming - but most recently, people have gathered for regeneration of both nature and community fuelled by long-term thinking. Over the years, Furnace Brook has transformed the land into a hub of community-led restoration, regenerative farming, and education. Despite localised pollution incidents, the team remain steadfast in their vision of a valley alive with wildlife, working farms, and thriving community life, where restoration becomes a way of living.

The Inga Foundation promotes Inga Alley Cropping as a sustainable alternative to 'Slash and Burn' agriculture, which destroys tropical rainforests. This revolutionary method integrates fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing Inga trees into farmland, with crops like maize grown in the alleys. The Inga trees are soil-healing superheroes that enrich the land, naturally suppress weeds, and provide clean firewood. This approach offers farmers economic resilience while allowing deforested land to recover. The flagship project in Honduras supports 600 families, has transformed 2,400 hectares, and sequestered and avoided over a million tons of CO2, proving that human needs and nature recovery can be met simultaneously.

Belmont Estate is dedicated to restoring biodiversity and combating climate change across three UK sites. Originating from one family's wish to reconnect with nature, the main estate uses natural grazing with cattle and ponies to create diverse habitats and a resilient landscape. A standout project is Watercress Farm, transformed from degraded land into a wetland paradise through rewetting, benefiting over 2,420 species and mitigating flooding. In Scotland, the estate is rewilding on a grand scale to support iconic species and enhance carbon sequestration through peatlands and forests. Belmont emphasizes education, community engagement, and collaboration to promote a wild and abundant future.

Affric Highlands is leading the UK’s largest rewilding project, transforming 200,000 hectares of the Scottish Highlands. The community-led initiative seeks to reverse centuries of deforestation and overgrazing by restoring a resilient mosaic of native woodlands, scrublands, and peatlands, supporting the regeneration of native trees and iconic species like Red Squirrels and Black Grouse. A key feature is a scientific collaboration, including tracking GPS-collared red deer, to balance wildlife management with woodland recovery. The project builds trust through voluntary partnerships with landowners and engages the local community via citizen science, and the support of nature-based economies.
