YRN Webinar:
Restoring Nature in Yorkshire: National Trust and our Ten Year Strategy
Wednesday, 21st January, 2026, 19.30 to 20.30
‘People and Nature Thriving’ is the National Trust’s new Ten Year Strategy, in which we set out bold ambitions to restore nature, and to end unequal access to nature, beauty and heritage. What do these ambitions look like on the ground, and how will we deliver them in Yorkshire?
Emma Wright leads on nature and climate for the National Trust in Yorkshire and the North East. With almost two decades’ experience in nature conservation, Emma is skilled at shaping inclusive, shared visions for a nature-rich future. Drawing on training in restoration ecology, conflict resolution, programme management and partnership working, Emma strives to inspire collective hope and action for land and for people.
It’s free to join. Registration will be available from late December.

YRN Winter NetWORKing:
Build a Beaver Dam Analogue, Castle Howard
Saturday, 7th February, 2026, 09.30 to 15.30
This is a fabulous opportunity to help prepare for beavers at Castle Howard’s Bog Hall habitat bank and chat with other rewilders in person.
Bog Hall is at the exciting start of its rewilding journey. As part of their rewilding plans, Castle Howard is working closely with the Beaver Trust to prepare for the release of Eurasian beavers on site.
Join us for a hands-on day where you’ll help build a Beaver Dam Analogue (BDA) — a man-made structure that mimics natural beaver dams. BDAs give beavers a head start when they arrive and help restore healthy wetland habitats.
During your visit, you’ll:
- Learn about the rewilding project and its vision.
- Explore some of the wilder parts of this 440-acre site.
- See the current baseline habitats and discover how they’ll transform.
Practical Details:
- Children over 12 welcome.
- Well-behaved dogs on leads allowed.
- Some walking will be on rough terrain; shelter available in a trailer.
- Please dress for the weather and bring a packed lunch.
- Toilets and parking provided.
To secure your place, we ask for a donation to Yorkshire Rewilding Network — as little as £1, but we hope you’ll support rewilding in Yorkshire and give more if you can. Thank you!
