About:
The goals of the Workshop were:
- Review of topics discussed in the Rewilding Maths Seminar series and identification of research questions at the interface of rewilding and the mathematical sciences
- Group work on these research questions: new results and refinement of the questions
- Planning for publication of results, setting agenda for future work
- Discussion of follow-on funding and future collaboration

Programme
Our question: `How can maths help with rewilding?’ This was a working workshop. There were a few informal presentations. The time was largely devoted to working in groups on the topics we had identified in the responses to the recent questionnaire. Groups also had time to share their progress and questions.
