The Land
Where the work happens
Our work takes place across the beautiful natural land at Wild Magic in Dagnall, UK, where volunteers come together to care for the land, support wildlife and restore biodiversity.By working directly with the land, volunteers can see the positive impact of their time and effort while helping create a healthier environment for people, plants and wildlife.
Biodiversity
Healthy land is a giant, layered ecosystem
At Wild Magic, our focus on wildlife rewilding & education helps highlight how biodiversity reflects the health of an ecosystem.
A healthy person or animal is like a little ecosystem, containing a huge variety of genes — and history shows us clearly how too much close interbreeding leads to terrible outcomes.
A healthy forest or piece of land, like any ecosystem, contains many species of plants, insects and animals almost every kind of life form is supported by that biodiversity.
The whole planet is one giant ecosystem
The whole planet contains within it many smaller ecosystems, down to absolutely tiny ones. And what human beings are doing is removing all the biodiversity on the planet, bit by bit — taking the land for ourselves, planting a few monoculture crops, and using chemicals to clear entire tracts of land of other species we call ‘pests’ or ‘weeds’.
This is why wildlife rewilding & education is essential to repairing damaged habitats and rebuilding the natural balance., so the health of each one depends on the health of all the others. Killing off entire species, as we are doing, by removing their habitat, will eventually kill us. We are already starting to see ‘climate refugees’. These numbers will grow as larger and larger areas of a sick planet can no longer support life.
“Anything dedicated to helping wildlife and biodiversity is really helping humans — because it restores the health of every ecosystem we depend on.”
It's the opposite of what rewilding & education seeks to achieve
Some of the consequences we have now
Topsoil
We are losing topsoil fast to erosion, the thin layer all food depends on.
10–30 / day
An estimated 10 to 30 species go extinct every single day — and that's just the start
Dead zones
Waterways and rivers are polluted, creating dead zones in the ocean.
Restoring habitat is restoring ourselves
We are only now beginning to realise how dependent we are on nature functioning properly. Protect the small ecosystems and the large ones look after themselves.

In Practice
Flourishing Biodiversity & Wildlife
Our work helps create thriving habitats where plants, insects, birds and wildlife can flourish. By restoring natural spaces and encouraging biodiversity, we aim to build a healthier, more balanced environment where nature can grow and thrive for generations to come.
