Find your wilderness

WE ARE SYLVANKIN
As a non-profit organization that believes nature can thrive without restricting society, and that through learning and appreciating classical bushcraft and wilderness skills we can allow British landscapes to revive, we are focused on wilding and woodland rejuvenation projects through providing unique, sustainable experiences for the community.
our story so far...
Stemming from a passion for living in the outdoors, SylvanKin emerged as a way of getting back in touch with nature and the wilderness. This passion highlighted the lack of truly untouched forests in the UK, and with it our freedom to explore it. We see our purpose as reviving these ecosystems and restoring the ability for communities to explore nature off the beaten track while allowing it to thrive.
Our Vision
Our landscapes are as much a part of us as we are a part of them. Society started alongside nature, and we want to cultivate that relationship in today's world...
-
by teaching people and communities various ways to interact with the wilderness; bushcraft, navigation, foraging, and much more!
-
through providing unique experiences for people to appreciate how nature and society co-exist, such as sustainable living and fulfilling alternatives to the everyday life.
-
And finally, to thrive in the wilderness that we revive through methods such as obtaining woodland to focus rewilding efforts on, which will be used to give back to the communities.
