WILDING tells the remarkable story of the Knepp estate’s transformation from a barren tract of marginal land to a fertile oasis. Isabella Tree and husband Charlie Burrell, strive to breathe new life into their ailing farm, reintroducing native ponies, deer, pigs and other wildlife, allowing nature to thrive. It’s a kind of miracle.

Mark says:
Following on from Isabella Tree’s best selling book ‘WILDING, The Return of Nature to a British Farm’, this film captures their remarkable experiment as nature emerges after decades of intensive farming. Isabella and Charlie encounter opposition from the locals and Government agencies along the way and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of discussion after the screening.

Reviews:

“There’s beautiful David Attenborough-type photography of the countryside reasserting itself and of the animals that returned to it.” Alexa Dalby, Dog and Wolf.

“A poignant, practical and moving story of how to fix our broken land, this should be conservation’s salvation; this should be its future; this is a new hope.” Chris Packham.

“You’ll never look at a green and pleasant pasture in the same way again after watching this documentary about the rewilding project at the Knepp estate in West Sussex. Cath Clarke, The Guardian.
