A year has passed since Forestry England teamed up with Forest Holidays to support the wild area in Kielder Forest. The two organisations share a sustainable vision for the forest, and their work has had a big influence on the Wild Kielder project.

In 2023, Forest Holidays and Forestry England embarked on an innovative nature recovery project at Kielder - a pioneering study of environmental DNA (eDNA) from the soil in Kielder Forest revealed for the first time the variety of fungi and insects. This information aims to help Forestry England track biodiversity recovery in the area.

Thanks to the ongoing support from Forest Holidays, Forestry England commissioned a comprehensive habitat survey of the entirety of the 6,300-hectare Wild Kielder site. This year, over the summer and autumn, a team of surveyors have mapped and undertaken a condition assessment of each habitat, and established long-term vegetation monitoring plots.
