It is inspired by the requests they receive from people wanting to learn how to rewild everything from unprofitable farms, landed estates and rivers, to ponds, allotments, churchyards, urban parks, gardens, window boxes and public spaces. Charlie Burrell/Knepp Wildland In 2001 Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree, the owners of Knepp Estate in the south of England, decided to transform their farm by 'rewilding' it. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie's mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project at Knepp in Sussex. It’s not only bringing multiple benefits to land, but also generating economic activity and employment. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. Knepp is a small step on the road to a wilder, richer country, and is proof that rewilding can work. The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face. How can an individual ever make a difference? Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance.
