Captured brilliantly the needs and benefits of re-wilding. How nature knows in so many respects better than our culture does.. it was really telling how they received so many letters of resistance and complaints - people are so indoctrinated! --- ### Summery _WILDING_ – Witness a dying landscape that defies the odds, healing and thriving in remarkable ways. David Allen   Info. UK | 2023 | 75 mins | English   Documentary. At Knepp Castle in Sussex, conservation pioneers Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell abandoned industrial [[Farming]] practices and allowed nature to ‘rewild’ their 3,500-acre estate with  remarkable results. Based on Tree’s bestselling book of the same name, Emmy-award winning  nature documentarian David Allen’s Wilding is a charming, hopeful story of ecological  regeneration.   When they inherited the estate in the 1980s, Tree and Burrell attempted to modernise the farm, but it proved unsustainable. In a leap of faith, they let nature take back the land, surrendering contemporary preconceptions about landscape, agriculture and the husbandry traditional for historic estates. The scheme was the first of its kind in Britain and one of the most significant in Europe.   A beacon of hope for British wildlife, Knepp is now home to thriving flora and fauna of all kinds, while Tree and Burrell have evolved into dedicated conservationists – knowledgeable about the catastrophic loss of biodiversity in Britain, yet also hopeful that work like theirs can reverse the decline.
