Summary

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Important and empowering' - BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

'Get this great guide and be inspired' - STEPHEN FRY

'A handbook of hope ... Buy it, read it, start changing things right now' - JOANNA LUMLEY
_______________

The enormity of climate change and biodiversity loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed. How can an individual ever make a difference?

Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face.

The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie’s mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project at Knepp in Sussex. It is inspired by the requests they receive from people wanting to learn how to rewild everything from unprofitable farms, landed estates and rivers, to ponds, allotments, churchyards, urban parks, gardens, window boxes and public spaces.. The Book of Wilding has the answers.

Authoritative guide for rewilding projects.

A comprehensive and authoritative rewilding guide, and a worthy follow up to wilding.
Though mainly aimed at those undertaking large projects, I found the whole thing fascinating, and it left me with hope that our environment can be healed.

Insights into wilding processes

Clearly and factually delivered, Isabella Tree's insightful work into the processes and obstacles to wilding and rewilding different landscapes and habitats were fascinating, challenging and hopeful by turns. Great advice for anyone seeking to start or enhance a rewilding project.
