    36 - Growing Dalmore Wild, Naturally

    In this episode of Rewilding in Action, guest host Jon Bakos takes the mic and talks to Maureen Howard about some of the restoration activities happening at Dalmore Reserve, an urban piece of council owned land in Dunedin that’s being cared for by the community group Wild Dalmore Reserve for the last six years. What does the group do and in particular what techniques are they using to tackle the weeds there that don’t involve chemicals?

    35 - Nature Leading at Scale - Guiding Principles of Rewilding
    May 28 2026
    Rewilding is catching on but do we really know what it is? Join me, Maureen Howard as I chat with Professor Steve Carver from the University of Leeds about rewilding definitions and the first two of the IUCN CEM’s five rewilding guidelines that he and his team developed. Some of the things we talk about are - What does allowing nature to lead mean? And why is it so important that rewilding happens at a large landscape scale? Many thanks to TASTE NATURE for kindly sponsoring this episode (www.tastenature.co.nz). This episode contains the song of song thrush recorded by David Darrell-Lambert at Queens Wood, Greater London, XC1132946. Accessible at www.xeno-canto.org/1132946.

    34 - Wild Dunedin Q&A - Knepp & Hinewai
    May 14 2026
    Hugh Wilson from Hinewai Reserve on Banks Peninsula and Matt Phelps from Knepp Rewilding in West Sussex England are put in the hot seat via Zoom to answer a Dunedin audience’s rewilding questions! Questions for Hugh include: How are pest animals such as rabbits tackled? What do you think of the Predator Free New Zealand goal? Do you support substitutes for extinct species such as moa? How are vulnerable species like rifleman doing? Questions for Matt include: Does Knepp Estate sell animals for meat? How do you mimic the predatory behaviour of wolves? Did the creeping thistle that plagued the property ever return? And for both: Are neighbours' copying what's happening at Knepp Estate and Hinewai Reserve? Rewilding in Action is hosted by Maureen Howard. Many thanks to Wild Dunedin for organising this event and to Tūhura Otago Museum for providing the venue.
