This episode is part of a 6-part series on Urban Rewilding. 

My guest is Sean McCormack, Chair of Ealing Wildlife Group. Sean led the reintroduction of harvest mice and beavers into urban parks in London, UK. In this episode we discuss: 

  • What is 'Urban rewilding' and why we should do it.
  • What made these projects successful.
  • Getting support from the community.
  • What needs to change to make rewilding in cities mainstream.
