Raise money and awareness for rewilding whilst enjoying the great outdoors!

Take part with us or arrange your own Big Green Hike.

The Big Green Hike is a nationwide event to raise money for environmental charities and we invite you to join us at our very own BGH event.

Yorkshire Rewilding Network volunteers and committee members will be doing a sponsored walk around the rewilding Harewood Estate to raise funds for our wonderful charity and would love you to come along and do your sponsored walk along side us. We will stop off at Muddy Boots Cafe part way round and there will be lots of opportunities to mingle and meet other rewilders.

Step 1 – Register for our Harewood Event  If you want to join us then please sign up using the free Eventbrite link HERE so we can send you all the details for the day.

Step 2 – Sponsorship   It is really easy to help us raise money:
Sign up directly on The Big Green Hike website HERE, remembering to choose Yorkshire Rewilding Network as your chosen charity.  They will send you instructions on how to set up your own JustGiving page.   

Step 3 – Spread the word!  By sending details about your sponsored walk to your friends you will really help to raise awareness about rewilding, the huge benefits and hope it offers – and maybe start a conversation or two.


This is a 5-mile circular route around part of the estate which surrounds the historic Harewood House. Walk with others or feel free to choose your own pace.  Follow our map and jog, run or hop the route – whatever you think will encourage the most sponsorship! 

You may challenge yourself and extend it as you wish – there’s lots to explore at Harewood. However, we’ve found that friends, family, colleagues and businesses support the person and the cause, and you certainly don’t have to run a marathon to raise a few pounds!

Accompanied children are very welcome and we already have quite a few of our own mini-rewilders gathering their sponsorship money. We hope to see lots of families walking with us. 

If you want to find out more about rewilding at Harewood Estate read the YRN feature story here.


Pick a location and distance, invite friends or enjoy the blissful solitude: you get to decide.  Then follow the steps on the Big Green Hike website HERE to set up your JustGiving page, remember to select ‘Yorkshire Rewilding Network’ as your chosen charity and start collecting sponsorship.  

The official Big Green Hike is 6th April, but you may choose another date that suits you better. Please tag us on social media so we can be part of your hike.

Thank you & Good luck!

As a small charity, all sponsorship makes a huge difference, and we hope we can encourage you to raise money for us this spring so we can carry on inspiring and enabling a Wilder Yorkshire. 

Funds will help pay for things like organising our summer site visit programme, future webinars, insurance and website costs.

 


Our Summer Site Visit programme gives you a unique opportunity to visit rewilding sites across Yorkshire. This year we have the most diverse range of sites yet, with the chance to explore everything from gardens to large estates, farmland to urban community projects and many more. Meet the people rewilding these sites, gain inspiration and knowledge and enjoy networking with other rewilders.

To register to attend any of the site visits, please go to our Eventbrite listings here: https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/rewilding-in-action-yrn-summer-site-visits-2024-3182669

Tickets are sold via donations for as little as £1 and please give what you can. A lot of work goes into organising these events and we really appreciate your support.
