The Film.
Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple who battle entrenched tradition and bet on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate.
Ripping down the fences, and hoping to renew the growth of mycorrhizal fungi deep in the soil, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals, both tame and wild. This is the beginning of what will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

This is the beginning of what will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.
Over time, the soil replenishes itself – with a little help from some charming pigs – and there is the miraculous return of rare species like the purple emperor butterfly, white stork and turtle doves, who make their homes at Knepp.
It is a transformation far beyond anything anyone could have dreamed of, captured in intimate detail by five-time Emmy Award-winning documentarian David Allen and multi- BAFTA & Emmy Award-winning cinematographers Tim Cragg and Simon de Glanville.
