REWILDING WORKSHOP SUCCESS
8th March 2023
Last week’s three-day workshop explored the possibilities of rewilding one of Cheltenham’s green corridors – the former elevated Honeybourne railway line, now a cycle and public footpath linking areas to the north of Cheltenham with the current mainline station Cheltenham Spa. It involved national and international speakers and participants.
Three scenarios were proposed, each undertaken by a separate group of students: 1. To rewild intensively, 2. To rewild moderately and 3. Not to rewild and instead propose a ‘signature’ landscape.
Expert contributions came from:
| Chris D’Agorne (Ecosulis UK) |
| Mallika Sardeshpande, South Africa |
| Dr Alessio Russo, University of Gloucestershire |
| Dr Christoph Rupprecht, Japan |
