REWILDING YOUTH WILL SOON BE MAKING ITS BIG PUSH ON TREE PLANTING AND NEED HELP

- By DEBORAH HALL

A COMMUNITY interest company in Hull that aims to engage young people living in disadvantaged areas with the wild world has a particularly busy time coming up.

Rewilding Youth will soon be making its big push on tree planting - and could do with some new young volunteers to lend a hand.

Rewilding Youth works to reconnect young people with their local urban “wild” spaces.

It does this through introducing young people to bushcraft activities, such as foraging, shelter-building, fire-making, storytelling, earth-building and natural crafts.

It has its base at East Hull Community Farm, where a host of experiences are offered and skills can be learned.

The company is also a delivery partner for Humber Forest, which works with local charitable organisations to grow its trees and carry out tree planting projects.
