Wilder Hampshire and Isle of Wight
© Lianne de Mello
We're starting a debate on what a wilder Hampshire and Isle of Wight looks like, and how we can all help make it happen.
Over the coming months we will be holding a series of debates and sharing our thinking as it develops. We will publish a more detailed plan in 2019. But we want to start building the nature recovery network across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight now.
