Community Thread - Let's Talk About Rewilding
Connect with our community and ask all your questions about reconnecting with nature
Hi lovely community 👋
First of all, if you're new here, my name is Sophie. I’m on a journey to slow down, reconnect with nature, and live more intentionally. After moving off-grid, I’m sharing my lessons on rewilding, simplicity, and finding balance in a busy world, without any of the fluff.
Join my newsletter if you're also a busy human in need of some balance.
I started this Substack newsletter in May 2024. In the past nine months our community has grown to almost 700 subscribers and it’s been so amazing to get to know some of you.
I love connecting in the comments with like-minded people and discovering other newsletters that talk about all the things I’m interested in.
So, this week, I thought it might be nice to open up that space for all of us to connect and get to know each other. And of course we want to connect about the one thing that I’m sure you’re interested in if you’re following me: our connection with nature 🌳🌴🌲
Let’s go straight to the comments and:
👩Introduce yourself
🪻How are you connecting with nature
❓Ask us a question about rewilding or connecting with nature
✍️Share your Substack if you have one
Then, go through the comments and introduce yourself to someone else and see if you can answer someone else’s question 😊
Let’s connect, can’t wait to meet you all in the comments!

👩Hi everyone, I'm Sophie 👋
🪻I've been travelling around NZ for the past two weeks and enjoying all the beauty that this country has to offer, hopping from beach to beach and completely disconnecting from everything else. It's been pretty amazing!
❓I'm just really keen to hear other people's tips and tricks about tiny moments of connection with nature. Often times we think we have to do this grand gesture, but I'm certain it's the little things that count. I'd love to hear people's small things that have really made a difference.

Hi I am Andrew from Suffolk, UK.
I connect with nature by being out there. Birdwatching, plant spotting, following the seasons, gardening for wildlife and trying to encourage more people to go green.
I keep a kind of nature journal but no sketches, I am lazy and add photos.
I have bee hotels, earwig shelters and hoverfly lagoons in the garden and am building a database of flora and fauna within our parish.
I suppose I am looking for tips on how to get more people engaged.
