Heal is raising funds to buy land for rewilding. We want to bring hope and optimism and to act as a focus for individual and organisational involvement in nature recovery, the mitigation of climate change and people's wellbeing. Our goal is a Heal site of 500 acres or more in every English county. We aim to establish our foundation site in the south by 2022 and the second site will be in the north
