Our inspiring film
What began as a three-minute film, capturing the successes of local rewilding projects, grew into a 35-minute documentary.
A Wilder Tenterden tells the inspiring story of how people, farms, and schools are working together to restore nature - from wildflower planting and regenerative farming to buzzing school gardens and thriving wildlife corridors.
The film has been featured on ITV News (more below), and both of our premiere screening events have sold out.
We’re planning additional screenings later this year.
