Winner of the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize.įorced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope. In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the 'Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. '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
