The wetlands and low grassland habitats along the River Trent and the species that depend on them are declining, but now a rewilding project led by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has been awarded the funding to create, restore and connect spaces for nature to encourage wildlife to thrive in the Trent Valley and beyond.

Animals have been shaping the landscape for thousands of years, but some species are more important than others. We call these ecosystem engineers. In the relatively recent past, large herbivores such as aurochs, elk, beavers, wild horse, wild boar, red deer and bison roamed Derbyshire’s landscape.

The Call of the Wild project is reinstating the actions of these lost wild herbivores across six sites managed by the Trust to rewild 267 Ha.
