Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book of the same name, Wilding tells the story of how she transformed Knepp Estate in West Sussex from a failing, debt-laden farm into one of Britain’s best biodiversity hotspots.

 Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature.Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

Tree's extraordinary project will give hope to anyone concerned about the challenges the earth faces after centuries of industrial farming

“This is not an observational documentary so much as a lyrical, filmic rendition of IsabellaTree’s book. The stunning camerawork – a lot of scenes were filmed either at golden hour or as the sun rises on the misty landscape – and the fabulous wild-life photography that captures intimate portraits of the animals that have thrived after introduction at Knepp (turtle doves, beavers, storks)make this film a joy for anyone who loves natural history documentaries.” theartsdesk
