IF NOT NOW, WHEN? 2027 kindly sponsored by Forestry England
The fifth year of our groundbreaking symposium is brought to you by Keep It Wild (KIW) to share quality information about rewilding, raise funds for our ‘land for nature’ purchases and species recovery projects. We will be tackling thorny issues, facilitating much-needed conversations and raising the bar on nature recovery.
Our 2026 event SOLD OUT 6 weeks prior. 35 people were waitlisted and unable to attend.
Building on our strengths from previous years rewilding events at Rewilding Coombeshead, home of author and reintroduction specialist Derek Gow ‘If Not Now, When? 2027’ promises a weekend packed with big hitters in the nature recovery scene. A high profile list of authors and rewilding visionaries sharing their own lived experience.
There’s a packed agenda for those with a thirst for firsthand knowledge, practical application of real-world projects, each helping us all to paint a picture of possibility for a brighter future here in the UK. There will also be Art , in many forms. Chef Arthur Duncan will be returning, the 2026 food was awesome!
