Broughton Sanctuary is rewriting the story of nature recovery through one of the UK’s most ambitious and holistic rewilding projects. Since 2021, we have been transforming this historic 1030 ha (app. 2500 acres) landscape - once intensively managed farmland - into a thriving mosaic of woodlands, meadows, and wetlands.

Across 80% of the land, we have reintroduced rare breed livestock, beavers and hundreds of thousands of native trees, while continuing to produce food in ways that support soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecological resilience. As wildlife returns and communities reconnect with the land, we are guided by science, collaboration and care, building towards our vision where all of nature, human and non-human, can flourish together. In our commitment to fostering and deepening this nature connectedness, we are delighted to offer a range of free community events throughout the year that invite you to join us on this incredible journey. These events are designed to inspire, refresh, and ignite your curiosity - providing an opportunity for everyone in our local community to come together.
