Description
Isabella Tree's inspiring story of restoring 3,500 acres of land to the wild is a testament to the power of nature to transform a landscape. After years of struggling to turn a profit from their farm, Charlie and Isabella Burrell embarked on a radical experiment to bring back the natural balance of their land.
The results were nothing short of remarkable, as a new wave of life flooded into the estate, attracting rare and threatened species such as turtle doves, peregrine falcons, and purple emperor butterflies. As the farm was transformed, the couple faced opposition from their neighbors, but their perseverance paid off, creating a breeding hotspot for these species.
Wilding is a hopeful and thought-provoking book that brings together science, natural history, and drama to tell a story of transformation and renewal. It is a timely reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world and the impact that individual actions can have on the environment.
