We are both fathers, driven by a commitment to intergenerational equity, so that our respective children can have the same experiences of wonder in Nature that we have been fortunate to have.  

We see the Nature recovery movement (and the individuals and organisations involved in rewilding and ecological restoration), as reflecting a growing social narrative which sees Nature not as Eden (without people) or only as spoils and for extraction (humans as separate from Nature), but of ‘Nature as garden’, in which people are integral, Nature to be protected and looked after. When we say, ‘Nature is my Garden’, is it both personal and shared, both an individual and a common responsibility, to tend and cultivate for the long term the garden on which we all depend.
