The Wildest Spot on the Finca... and the Quest Begins Soon


From brambles to butterflies - and a Quest your whole family will love. Starts Saturday!
Dear Reader,


This week we moved the cattle and horses to the furthest block of Wild Finca - our wildest and most remote spot. Bordering the forest, it’s bursting with natural regeneration. The thorny scrub - Hawthorn, Bramble, Blackthorn, and Dog Rose - has been quietly protecting young Oaks, Chestnuts, Cherries, Willows, and Birches, now stretching over 4 feet tall.

We’ve gently cleared some Bramble patches over the winters, leaving young trees to thrive. The result? A patchwork of copse, scrub, and meadows alive with invertebrate life. On these warm summer days, we’re seeing a flurry of butterflies - Purple Emperors, White Admirals, Silver Washed Fritillaries - and even a few Golden Ringed Dragonflies on the hunt. It’s hard to stay focused with that kind of magic!

🌿 Speaking of wild distractions…
Our 21-Day Nature Quest begins this Saturday!
Doors close Friday at 9PM CEST, and we’d love to have you with us.

We’ve had lots of great questions from you this week, so here’s a quick round-up (and a gentle nudge if you’ve been on the fence):

What age is it for?
The Quest is designed for children aged 5–10 to lead – but toddlers tag along, older kids dive deeper, and yes… grown-ups get rewilded too.

We’re going on holiday…
Perfect! The Quest travels beautifully. Everything is digital – with 6 months of access to films and audio, and PDFs you can download and keep. Whether you’re camping, by the sea, or staying with grandparents – it goes where you go.

We don’t have a garden...
No worries. Sit spots can be balconies, pavements, parks, or windowsills. The Quest works just as well in cities as it does in the countryside.

How much time does it take?
Most days take 10–20 minutes. Some turn into full afternoons. And for busy days? We've included 5 Quick Quests, each just 5–15 minutes long.

What if we fall behind?
No pressure. You go at your family’s pace. You'll have 6 months' access to all audio and film content, and the PDFs are yours to keep forever.

Do I need to be outdoorsy?
Not at all. You just need curiosity. The Quest is designed to be accessible, joyful, and gently transformative – no experience (or fancy kit) needed.

A gentle 3-day invitation to slow down, step outside, and reconnect - with nature and yourself. Dear Reader, This morning’s walk through the woods offered one of those quiet resets that seem to arrive when you’re paying attention. The boys had their “eyes-in” ( or 'ditch vision' switched on, as one of our friends, Ben, calls it) - and as we moved slowly, we noticed more:A spider mid-meal. Two striking Wasp Spiders, poised in perfect stillness. Mushrooms nestled in the undergrowth (none edible...

We don’t have ecology degrees - and maybe that’s exactly why our rewilding story matters. Dear Reader, We're just settling back home after an inspiring (and admittedly exhausting!) week in the UK, but most notably past weekend at the UK’s Birdfair - so this week’s newsletter might be a little different than usual. Back to business as usual, checking on the cows! Over the Birdfair weekend, both Luke and I (Katie) were working across the event, and one of the most powerful experiences we shared...
