What is a wild place?
A wild place isn't simply somewhere remote.
It's a place where nature shapes the landscape, wildlife finds a home and natural processes are free to unfold.
Wildness can be found in mountains, forests and coastlines - but also in local parks, rivers and even our own back gardens.
