Ann and Jeff VanderMeer have been working on a re-wilding project at their home for about three years now. Jeff regularly posts videos from his trail cam(s) to Twitter. Yesterday he posted a video of a young raccoon playing with a toy ball. The hashtag #vanderwild has more.

(btw, I thought the new collab between Jeff Vandemeer and Theo Ellsworth was good fun.)

I've read Jeff VanderMeer's books, and I've seen his movie Annihilation. There's no way I would walk into an area he's "re-wilded."

Raccoons in the vanderwild, you say? Take good care.

I will never be privileged enough to own property to do this, but this is what I would do if I did.

The labels on the pic where they map out the plants is great:
Rabbit's kingdom (keep out)
Bridge demanded by delicate opossum
stupid spot the wrens chose for their nest
