Highlands Rewilding is a pioneering UK rewilding company dedicated to accelerating nature recovery and fostering community prosperity across Scotland and beyond. Founded by Jeremy Leggett, the company operates as a mass ownership entity, integrating innovative research and nature-based solutions to combat biodiversity loss and climate change. Their model focuses on creating natural capital verification laboratories to generate reliable data for the nature-recovery industry, making it investable and driving exponential growth.
By managing owned and leased land, Highlands Rewilding aims to increase carbon sequestration, enhance biodiversity, create green jobs, and generate sustainable profit. They emphasize a science-driven approach, utilizing data to underpin natural capital credits and attract significant investment. Rooted in the communities where they work, the company prioritizes consultation, partnership, and involvement with local stakeholders, believing that community prosperity is vital for successful nature restoration.
Highlands Rewilding actively engages in projects such as seagrass restoration, improving walking routes like the Great Glen Way, and managing land for woodland creation and gorse clearing. They also offer OSPREY Partnerships to landowners, providing expertise in land management for profitable nature restoration, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity uplift with no upfront cost to the partner.
