About the event

What is #TeamWilder?

Yorkshire’s wildlife is in crisis and our natural world has never mattered more, which is why we must come together to bring about its recovery.

#TeamWilder is a rapidly growing movement of people who care about our environment and want to help wildlife thrive not only in nature reserves, but in urban towns and cities right across Yorkshire.

Through #TeamWilder we are empowering Yorkshire’s communities to act for a wilder future.

You can find out more on our website at ywt.org.uk/team-wilder.
