In a world of damming environmental news and the ever-looming threat of climate change, we could all do with a bit of hope. Host of the “Rewild” podcast, James Shooter, teams up with Rewilding Europe to shine a light on the passionate people and inspiring initiatives fighting back for nature. With monthly stories of nature recovery from Rewilding Europe’s pioneering Landscapes and European Rewilding Network, this summer the show covered the story of the Oder Delta.

Rewilding connects multifaceted nature conservation and community engagement through education, events, and supporting entrepreneurship. The activities in the Ina River basin are a perfect example of these principles in action. The summer months saw various restoration measures carried out on the Ina River tributaries, accompanied by the installation of five informational boards. To mark this occasion, the Rewilding Oder Delta team organized a bike tour on July 13, 2024, to showcase recent field activities and share the successes with partners and friends from the region.

On 11 May, we joined the 63rd Henrician Cultural Meetings in Siemczyno. Rewilding Oder Delta representatives – Artur Furdyna, hydrobiologist and water ecologist, and Magdalena Urlich, enterprise officer and guide – led an educational walk to show the natural potential of the area around the historic baroque complex.
