Description

Isabella Tree is an award-winning author and conservationist. With her husband, Sir Charles Burrell, she has spearheaded the groundbreaking rewilding project at Knepp Estate in West Sussex. "Wilding," tells the inspiring story of this pioneering effort to restore nature and biodiversity to the British landscape.

"Wilding" chronicles the transformation of the Knepp Estate from a struggling farm into a flourishing natural haven. Not just a story about land restoration; it's a manifesto for change, a call to reimagine how we use our land, and a testament to the resilience of nature when given the chance to thrive.

• Learn how allowing natural processes to take the lead has revived wildlife populations, from rare butterflies to nightingales and purple emperor butterflies.
• Explore the principles of rewilding, an approach that works with nature rather than against it, and the impact it can have on biodiversity, climate resilience, and human well-being.
• Witness the extraordinary results of abandoning intensive farming in favour of a more sustainable and ecologically sound method of land management.
