Jen, our eagle-eyed Rewilding Ranger, has spotted not 1 but 3 Grizzled Skippers together this week.

This is an exciting spot as they are increasingly rare, listed on the GB red list as vulnerable, AND they are normally seen on chalk downland or other sparsely vegetated habitats - that certainly isn’t Embercombe!

Do you long to seek communion with the natural world around you, to feel a sense of belonging to the land, to the more-than-human-world that you live within?

Do you hear the whispers in the wind, the movements below the surface, the feeling that there is something more that you must know about your life upon this earth?

Do you wonder how to fully love this world?

Gather with us at The Hearth 2-8 August for a deep dive with life. With Mac Macartney and Tugba Kirhan.

We are delighted to share news from our friends at - Into the Light rewilding festival is returning for its third year at the beautiful site of Heal Somerset for a weekend of ideas, connection, and inspiration.

Taking place on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th June 2026, this year’s theme is water, celebrating rivers and wetlands through both rewilding and cultural perspectives. This is especially timely as Heal has recently completed their major wetlands project (with help from some very busy beavers)
Friday is geared towards those in ecology, land management, and anyone with an interest in nature recovery, while Saturday opens up to a wider audience with a greater focus on sharing stories, challenging ideas, asking questions and celebrating the many ways people are making a difference for nature in their own places.

Key speakers include:

* Jack Perks, wildlife cameraman and river conservationist
* James Wallace, chief executive, River Action
* Meg Avon, poet, activist, performance artist
* Minni Jain, director, The Flow Partnership
* Stephen Rutt, author and naturalist

This is the third year of Into the Light and it has proved to be an unforgettable experience, with lots to learn, lots to inspire you and a lot of very nice people to meet.
