Which course is right for me?​

The Ecosystem Restoration Design course is a learning journey that is taught by many experienced teachers who share their knowledge and wisdom on a multitude of restoration projects that they have implemented around the world. It is designed for someone who is new to the world of restoration and would like to be introduced to the many different ways in which an ecosystem can be restored to discover which type of project most excites them. 

The Introduction to Ecosystem Restoration course focuses more deeply on the fundamentals of the science of ecology and ecosystem restoration, getting into the details on how ecosystems function, and is mainly taught by Paul Morris – an expert in the fields of botany, ecosystem restoration and regenerative farming. This course is a gateway course that will give you the foundational understanding of restoration needed to delve deeper into a specific ecosystem to learn how to restore it.

The Rewilding Training course is the UK’s first in-depth, rewilding training programme. The course is aimed at people with an interest in rewilding but don’t know how to get there, or those who are already rewilding and want to deepen their knowledge. It is also ideal for land advisors looking to advise farmers on rewilding. Participants may already have land, want to acquire land or have access to a neighbour’s land. This is blended course, so the curriculum comprises online learning as well as two residential sessions at Embercombe in Devon. The course content and context make this course suitable for people living in Britain.
