Welcome to Celtic Rewilding. We’re aiming to be a global leader in the restoration of nature. Our mission is clear — to guide individuals with a passion for rewilding, irrespective of their land’s size. From intimate inner-city gardens to vast estates. We specialise in providing world-class, solution-based advice, incorporating diverse disciplines to create holistic rewilding projects.
At the heart of Celtic Rewilding lies a story of humble beginnings of two individuals, driven by a shared passion for nature. Harvey and Tom, lifelong best friends, started on a journey to turn their dreams into reality, creating a solid foundation for the implementation of their wild vision.
Our Vision Transcends Borders
We wish to see wildlife everywhere it is our belief that a thriving natural world results in a thriving society. The future is often seen as dim for nature’s prospectus, but we hope that the future holds bright times for wildlife and for people.
In the heart of Celtic Rewilding, our values are more than principles – they’re our compass, steering us toward a world where nature thrives. With dedication to rewilding, conservation, collaboration, ethical practices, and education, we navigate this journey together, driven by a shared passion for a healthier planet
We value dedication to the deeper reasons for why restoring our natural world is the right thing to do.
We will never discard the arts; creative thinking is perhaps more imperative than a scientific outlook
We will always dream big, and give any project its best ever shot!
Harvey Tweats achieves a breakthrough, successfully breeding the first lizards outdoors in captivity, marking the initial spark of Celtic Rewilding's journey.

A pivotal year as Celtic Rewilding officially forms, laying the groundwork for its mission to restore ecosystems and revive the natural world.
The acquisition of land for the breeding facility sets the stage for a dedicated space to nurture and propagate biodiversity.
International press coverage and the welcoming of the first rewilding clients propel Celtic Rewilding into the spotlight, showcasing its commitment to global nature restoration.
Celtic Rewilding celebrates a major achievement as its impact expands, restoring landscapes across 10,000 acres. In 2022, we successfully reintroduced water voles to Trentham and developed three estate management plans, contributing to the creation of 24 ponds nationwide.
In 2023, Celtic Rewilding accomplished several significant milestones,z
including the reintroduction of beavers at both Trentham Estate and Wild Wrendale. Additionally, we successfully reintroduced sand lizards at Knepp, marking a pivotal moment in our conservation efforts. These achievements were accompanied by the expansion of our impact to encompass 15,000 acres of restored landscapes.
