Isabella Tree - Rewilding: the return of nature

Isabella will tell the story of the daring wildlife experiment she and her husband, conservationist Charlie Burrell, began in 2000: rewilding their 3,500 acres of unprofitable farmland at Knepp Estate in West Sussex. In less than twenty years their degraded land has become a functioning ecosystem again, wildlife has rocketed and numerous endangered species have made Knepp their home. What has happened at Knepp challenges conventional ideas about nature, wildlife and how we manage and envisage our land. It answers some of the most pressing environmental questions facing us today and reveals the potential for the landscapes of the future.
