You don’t need hectares of land to rewild! Rewilding can go as small as you like and the urban garden is a perfect example. Join me, Maureen Howard as I chat with my guest, insect behavioural ecologist Dr Jenny Jandt, in her garden to chat about how her intentionally wild garden is benefitting the growing invertebrate population living there. If you’re looking for a worthwhile reason to do less work in your garden, listen in to find out more! This episode of Rewilding in Action is supported by Bin Inn Dunedin.

22 - Protected Forever
Show 22 - Protected Forever - One key thing that the landowners I’ve interviewed so far on Rewilding in action have in common is an open space QEII covenant on their land. Join me, Maureen Howard as I chat with my guest Dr Cathy Rufaut, a Regional Representative from QEII. Find out what this type of covenant is and the options out there, the benefits of a QEII covenant over other covenant types and what QEII is able to provide in the current economic climate.

21 - A Kākā Comeback
Is your garden ready for a kākā visit? With increased predator control across Dunedin we are starting to experience more native birds, including kākā, in our backyards. Join Maureen Howard, as she visits with Communications and Advocacy Lead Taylor Davies-Colley at Orokonui Ecosanctuary. Listen in to find out - how we can live well with kākā, the benefits of big old trees - native or exotic, and why having a 1000 year plan is a perfect timeline for successful rewilding.

20 - United by a Stream Gully
Rewilding requires ecological corridors to connect ecologically significant habitats. However in urban areas, native forest remnants are often isolated from one another, surrounded by multiple landowners.
Join Maureen Howard, as she chats with her guests Rachel Gibb and Ursula Ellenberg from Ravensbourne - where landowners have been working together to restore a stream gully spanning eight property blocks and where donkeys have helped restore native bush on Rachel's land!
