Live from Scotland, Flo Blackbourn, "Why Not Scotland? - Lessons Learned on my Rewilding Journey"
In the summer of 2023 a young Scot, Flo Blackbourn, traveled to nature restoration projects in six European countries, including her home country of Scotland, meeting numerous experts involved in the protection and restoration of our land and seas, and learning how people, as well as the natural world, can benefit from rewilding. Through this experience she considered the things she learned, what worked, and why it seemed that other countries were progressing much faster than the Scotland which she knows and loves.
