Heartland Rewilding’s mission is to reconnect and rewild Midwestern lands and promote compassionate and respectful coexistence across the Mississippi River Watershed through advocacy and education.The Midwest was once one of the wildest and most biologically diverse regions in North America. Now it is almost entirely crops and human development. If we are to respectfully coexist with and restore wild nature in North America, we must reconnect and rewild the Mississippi River Watershed.
