The three German cities Frankfurt, Dessau-Roßlau, and Hannover have set aside certain urban lots for urban wilderness projects scheduled to run for a period from 2016 to 2021. The intention and goals are in:

•  supporting conservation by providing spaces for species and biodiversity development, 
• improving life quality in the cities, fostering curiosity and interest in "wildlife", and making natural environments accessible,
• creating new urban landscapes and making experience with maintenance and usage,
• pioneering various options and schemes for urban wilderness projects.

The allotted spaces remain largely uncultivated and are allowed to partly regulate themselves. Of course, we remain the guardians!

Wilderness is fascinating and adventurous, yet intimidating to many: the unknown, seeming unpredictable. The more we know about it, the less we need to fear! In fact, there is a lot to be learned, experienced, and appreciated.

We aim at bringing people and nature together and are facing this challenge by accompanying these projects at all stages of development by accurate surveying and documenting and by providing professional guidance and counseling to those interested in experiencing local urban rewilding – ultimately beneficial to all: people, nature, and the planet.
