Chloe is a clinical psychologist. Tom is a former British Army officer. In 2023 they bought 80 acres of intensive farmland in rural Monmouthshire and started rewilding it. The Wilder Podcast is the conversation that came next, and it has grown beyond the land.Every fortnight, we talk to the people thinking seriously about the systems we have built, and the ones we need next. Rewilding scientists and conservation founders. Regenerative farmers and food security experts. Economists, ecologists, psychologists, community builders, the occasional well-placed contrarian. The connecting thread is simple: a culture disconnected from nature is at the root of the polycrisis, and reconnection is the foundation for almost everything else.Alongside the interviews we share the honest version of our own journey at the Grange Project. The wins, the false starts, and the muddy reality of trying to turn a former silage farm into a mosaic of habitats, with no formal background in ecology.Topics range
