Underhill Wood Nature Reserve

Jonathan Thomson is a conservationist, rewilder and steward of the Underhill Wood Nature Reserve, UK. From growing up on a small dairy farm in rural New Zealand between the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the marine and terrestrial natural world always played an important part in his life. In 2014, seeing the need to protect, conserve and restore threatened native fauna and flora grow more urgent, he and his wife bought 16 acres of undulating clay land on the Wiltshire / Dorset border. Their aim is to restore biodiversity and to provide a space for people to learn about nature.
