The First Walk
The first time I walked the land that would become Wildwood Grove, I felt something shift.
Not excitement, not adrenaline — something quieter. A recognition.
The slopes, the hedgerows, the stillness of the valleys… it felt like a place waiting to be understood, not owned. A place with stories held in the soil.
I didn’t know the full vision yet. Just that this land and I had work to do together.
This journal begins here — at the beginning of something steady, slow and meaningful.
Listening to the Land
Wildwood Grove is a sanctuary for wildlife — but also for people.
A place for restoration, for nature to recover and for humans to breathe again.
The more I walk these fields, the more I understand how much can happen here:
habitats restored, soils strengthened, water held instead of lost, biodiversity returning.
Rewilding isn’t a quick process.
It’s a commitment.
And I’m ready to walk it season by season.

Beginning the Foundations
The foundations of Wildwood Grove are starting to form — conversations with ecologists, architects, planners, and local experts.
None of this is rushed. Every step builds carefully on the one before it.
There is a long road ahead, but it already feels like home.
I’ll share each step as it unfolds, with honesty and openness.
This is just the beginning.
