Real Impact

“Bader College and Herstmonceux Castle Estate engaged the Real Wild Estates Company to produce a comprehensive report on further options for nature conservation and aligned income. As a 600-acre estate, with some amazing habitats and with many projects already underway, we were keen to understand how we could take our work to the next level and secure further funding. We were impressed with the quality of RWE’s report and the level detail provided. The team at RWE were a pleasure to alongside and have, without doubt, enabled us to progress our plans for the Estate in a way that would not have been possible without their expertise and input.”

“At Cornwall Wildlife Trust we are keen to transition to a more rewilding approach on our largest nature reserve, Helman Tor. Whilst we know the basic principles of rewilding, we didn’t want to just make things up as we went along and risk making avoidable mistakes. We brought Real Wild Estates in to make sure our restoration plan was fully informed by the successes (and failures) of the pioneering projects that have gone before us across Europe. Real Wild Estates was able to provide this. Their advice on new income streams and income predictions for a potential ecotourism venture has also been really valuable as we make plans for Helman Tor.”

“Real Wild Estates have been really helpful because we felt we had reached limit of our ecological knowledge, and we needed guidance and help to keep things moving in the right direction and not making mistakes. They also helped us in defining the vision for Hamatethy with a 15-year strategy.”
