Join student organizations such as the Student Conservation Association (https://www.thesca.org) and the Sierra Club (https://www.sierraclub.org) to learn more about environmental issues and obtain hands-on experience protecting the environment.
Visit the Web sites of rewilding organizations such as the Rewilding Institute (https://rewilding.org), Rewilding Europe (https://rewildingeurope.com), and Rewilding Britain (https://www.rewildingbritain.org.uk) to learn more about the field. Talk to rewilders about their careers and visit a restoration site to see rewilders at work. Consider rewilding a small portion of your background by removing non-native plants and grasses and introducing native plants that increase insect and bird biodiversity.
