This month I’m recommending Wilding by Isabella Tree and Angela Harding.
It is a book about rewilding and Angela Harding’s illustrations
are exquisite.
We read the story of how Isabella and her husband Charlie returned
their 3,500 acres of land at Knepp in West Sussex to nature. There is so much
information packed into this book. There is the history of the land and the
rewilding, there are details about the kinds of wild life that live there and about
the types of plants. There are examples of other rewilding projects and also
hints and tips about if you would like to do your own rewilding
It is a beautiful book and also very tactile. It was marketed as a book for children but I believe
many adults would also enjoy it.
