Wilding, this fascinating documentary, narrated by Isabella Tree herself, traces the story of rewilding the ecosystem at the estate at Knepp in Sussex, in the south of England.
Tree and Burrell's extraordinary project will give hope to anyone concerned about the challenges the earth faces after centuries of industrial farming.
“Some of the filming was a rival to Attenborough! A bird swooping on a dragonfly. An owl savouring a worm. And, most extraordinary of all pigs diving for mussels.”
