Book Summary
Wielding tells the story of a remarkable experiment: the rebuilding of the knee estate in West Sussex, the restoration of natural ecological processes, and the stunning recovery of Flora and fauna. The most inspirational book Ive read in years. In every br>Chapter, new species return. - Caitlin Moran (on Twitter) winner of the Richard jefferies society and white horse book shop literary Prize highly commended by the Wainwright Golden beer book Prize in wilding, Isabella tree tells the story of the knee experiment, a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, wielding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope. Forced 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. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer - proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain - The 3, 500 Acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade. Extremely rare species, including Turtle doves, Nightingale, peregrine falcon, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at knee, and populations of other species are rocketing. The burrells Degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life - all by itself. Personal and inspirational, wilding is an astonishing account of the beauty and strength of nature, when it is given as much freedom as possible.
