Two wonderful people. Thank you for hopefully starting a UK wildlife conservation revolution. Love your book and looking forward to visiting Knepp thus Spring.
There are elements that remind me of the rural Laindon (Thames Valley Essex) where I used to holiday with my Nan in the late 50s. Half a mile from the nearest asphalt road, the scrub and trees look similar and I remember clouds of multi-coloured butterflies and moths when I walked through the long grass. Mid 60s it was buried under a trading estate and a bypass.
@@RaysTrack That's is exactly where I live Ray - Langdon Hills! True that the whole Basildon area was pretty much built on, but in between the estates there are enclaves of what were the Plotlands and many of these areas have been left to over-grow with some management to enhance the wildlife. I've only got to walk literally 200 yards and I'm in woodland and grassland that looks like this with a massive variety of wildlife and seemingly it's overlooked by many people in the area. In fact I discovered an area myself a couple of years ago in lockdown having lived here since 1993 that I'd never seen and I was staggered by how enormous the trees were and how different the area these tree were situated in was to the areas that surrounded it and yet it's literally half a mile from my house.
Always wonder how much culling they do, how they separate animals in the rut, do they let them drop dead & lie there, how much veterinary treatment do they do, etc. Without carrion birds and apex predators, it's all very nice, but less rewilding and more "zoo-keeping".

I hope I’m alive in 20 years to see this. Great project!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I was lucky enough to be a part of this project with Opwall this summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I left well and truly inspired!
That’s great to hear!
Isabella Tree’s book ‘Wilding’ about the history of the Knepp project is wonderful
