Wilderculture Eco Holidays With A Difference

Totally unique.

These are eco-holiday’s with a difference. A unique hybrid of an educational environmental holiday with the chance to be inspired by stunning scenery and immerse yourself in nature.

If you’re deeply concerned about the environment and climate change, but confused about how you can help and what foods are genuinely ‘sustainable’ then this is a wonderful way to learn more.

We have chosen a range of extraordinary settings to run our unique eco-holidays. All are UK based farms or rewilding projects who are actively regenerating their soils and improving biodiversity.

 

We Urgently Need To Address Climate Change.

Our Wilderculture eco-holiday experiences are designed to explore the complex question of what we should be eating to best support our global and local environment.

Our soils’ ability to sustain food production is likely to fail on a global scale within 60 years and all the while our population is growing rapidly.

It seems like we’re getting our land management badly wrong.

.

Welfare

Many farm animals are often reared inhumanely, and our wildlife is disappearing before our eyes.
Soils

Parts of our world are suffering from desertification and wildfires. Even in the UK, the symptoms of poor soil health are appearing in the form of increased flooding and drought events.
Nourish
Our food contains a fraction of the nutrients it did 50 years ago but instead contains a wide range of toxins and anti-nutrients that are making us sick.
Be Part Of The Solution
People who have no direct connection to land often feel they have no way of helping to influence land management. In fact, everyone has an important part to play in saving our world.

Lifestyle and eating choices are the main driver that can influence a dramatic change, but to save it you must first understand it. This is where it gets confusing.

 

 

 

Cut Through The Confusion
 
We are often told that eating a vegan diet is the best way to help nature and that grazing livestock are destroying important habitats.

Plants and animals are intertwined in the ecosystem and cannot be separated from each other unless we produce our foods using intensive agricultural practices that harm the planet.

Livestock – The Problem AND The Solution
 
It’s certainly true that in many cases, our subsidy systems along with public demand for cheap food has driven production to environmentally destructive levels. Livestock however are a tool, it’s the management that matters. Under poor management they can be highly destructive, but under good management they are a powerful tool to regenerative soils and increase biodiversity.

Who is this Experience for?

This is an extraordinary experience for anyone ready to act and make a real difference. If you’re passionate about saving our planet, keen to learn more and interested in meeting other individual thinkers, then the chances are you’ll LOVE this eco-holiday. This holiday would make a special family holiday with older children, a fun break with a group of friends or a unique couples retreat.

We like to make learning fun. We’ll be enhancing your knowledge whilst enjoying our inspiring wild surroundings. There will be plenty of time for chatting with fellow change-makers; inspire each other and become a Wilderculture family as we cook and dine together. Don’t worry though, we won’t be glued together, there’s additional time for adventuring around the incredible environment that surrounds us.

What You Will Learn.

Caroline will take you on an educational journey looking at the problems with our global food system and the flaws in our reductionist approach to assessing the sustainability and climatic impact of our food.

Through presentations, walks and a series of practical demonstrations you will learn to look at food production more holistically.

We will round off with a shift in focus from the global to the local. We’ll explore why traditional diets were the healthiest and most sustainable diets of all, and how this ancestral wisdom can educate us on what we should eat today.

 

 

How This Can Help You.

You will leave feeling more able to nourish yourself in ways that will positively influence land management as well as your own health. You will be able to engage in debates on the sustainability of our common foods in a more informed and confident way.

 

You may even leave feeling empowered to get involved in ecological restoration projects; be it tending a pot of salad and making compost in your backyard or starting a new career in land management or farming.
