At Wildlore, our work is rooted in Deep Ecology, guided by a sense of Kinship, and shaped by the three pillars of People, Practice and Place.
Our Story
At Wildlore CIC, we create spaces where people can heal, grow and remember their place within the world. Through earth-based practices, we cultivate reconnection, resilience, and regeneration — anchored in deep ecological ethics and a living sense of kinship with all life.
People
We nurture inclusive, supportive communities where all people feel they belong. Our work focuses on connection, wellbeing, and personal growth through practice rooted in the living world.
Practice
We use Nature-based, hands-on activities like bushcraft, foraging, wildlife tracking, and seasonal attunement to build confidence, skills, and deeper awareness of the natural world and ourselves.
Place
We honour the specific landscapes we work in, their history, ecology, and spirit – cultivating a respectful, reciprocal relationship with the land that grounds our work and learning.
