We create trips we would want to join.

Mossy Earth journeys came from conversations with nature lovers who wanted to go beyond superficial trips.

Our trips are for you if you…

Feel powerless in the face of climate change, want to contribute but you don’t always know how

Want to feel the change you’re making. You don’t want to just give money, you want to contribute with your own hands and see the change with your own eyes

Want to make new friendships as an adult and meet people with similar interests

What do we do?

We run trips where small groups of adults spend the week immersed in a rewilding project, learn the science and methods of rewilding from conservation biologists, and contribute to the projects themselves if they wish so.

We believe in a down-to-earth, fun and friendly approach. Everyone is welcome to join our adventures and we can’t wait to meet you!
