Wilding - the return of nature to a British farm
This talk will tell the amazing story of a daring wildlife experiment: the rewilding of Knepp Estate in West Sussex where Isabella lives with her husband, the environmentalist Charlie Burrell. After decades of intensive farming, their 3,500 acres are now home to critically endangered nightingales, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies, as well as burgeoning populations of other species. The success of Knepp, where habitats are created by free-roaming animals, challenges conventional ideas about our past and present landscape, and points the way to a wilder, richer future – a countryside that benefits farming, nature and us.
