About the Book
Wilding: How to Bring Wildlife Back - An Illustrated Guide is a reimagining of Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm by Isabella Tree. This beautiful brand new illustrated gift book tells the story of a remarkable experiment: the rewilding of the Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Illustrated with lino prints and watercolours by Angela Harding, the book explains how rewilding works and beautiful spreads featuring species that have returned and thrive including butterflies, bats, owls and beetles.
There are accessible in-garden activities to 're-wild' your own spaces and the book encourages readers of all ages to slow down and observe the natural world around them, and start to understand the connections between species and habitats, and the huge potential for life right on their doorstep.
