Worms might not win beauty contests, but they’re the quiet heroes keeping your garden alive. From composting kings to soil-aerating champs, these wriggly wonders work 24/7 with no fanfare. In this blog, I face my wormy fears, share a squishy tribute, and explore how to turn your patch into a wormy wonderland—because rewilding starts from the ground up (literally). Grab a brew and come meet the true underground legends.

Often misunderstood and rarely seen, bats are the silent night shift of rewilding—flitting through gardens and hedgerows, hoovering up insects and keeping ecosystems in balance. In this week's blog, we shine a torch on these winged wonders, bust a few myths, and explore how even a scruffy hedge or patch of wildflowers can make all the difference. From pipistrelles to horseshoes, bats deserve a little love.

Foxes: folklore favourites, late-night screamers, and surprisingly vital players in the rewilding puzzle. From garden antics to urban adaptability, these clever canines help control pests, tidy up carrion, and quietly connect wild spaces. Whether you love them for their mischief or marvel at their resilience, foxes remind us that rewilding isn’t just about the wild “out there”—sometimes, it’s already padding through our back gardens.

Britain’s black-and-white bandits are more than cute—they’re ecosystem engineers! Here's why badgers matter and how we can help them thrive.

Hedgehogs are more than just cute, spiky visitors—they’re natural pest controllers and vital to garden ecosystems. This week’s blog explores why their numbers are declining and how you can turn your garden into a hedgehog haven with a few simple, wildlife-friendly tweaks. Plus, there's a mildly embarrassing hedgehog encounter thrown in for good measure. 🦔🌿 #RewildingRainford

When one passionate post meets a village full of people who care, magic happens. In our very first Rainford’s Rewilders event, 18 volunteers rallied together to tackle litter at Ormskirk Road Play Area—clearing bags of rubbish, finding abandoned pram parts, and proving just how powerful one hour of community action can be. This isn’t just about tidying up; it’s about building a cleaner, greener, more connected Rainford.

Rotting logs, crumbling branches, and mossy stumps might not win any garden beauty contests—but they’re absolute goldmines for wildlife. In this blog, we dive into the weird and wonderful world of deadwood, explore why letting things rot is one of the best things you can do for biodiversity, and share a story involving woodlice, childhood sword fights, and a surprisingly squishy stick. Embrace the mess, because dead wood is very much alive.

Rewilding Rainford can start at home and you can grow not just food for the pollinators but for yourself as well.
