520    An inspiring story about what happens when 3,500 acres of 
       land, farmed for centuries, is left to return to the wild,
       and about the wilder, richer future a natural landscape 
       can bring  For years Charlie Burrell and his wife, 
       Isabella Tree, farmed Knepp Castle Estate and struggled to
       turn a profit. By 2000, with the farm facing bankruptcy, 
       they decided to try something radical. They would restore 
       Knepp's 3,500 acres to the wild. Using herds of free-
       roaming animals to mimic the actions of the megafauna of 
       the past, they hoped to bring nature back to their 
       depleted land. But what would the neighbors say, in the 
       manicured countryside of modern England where a blade of 
       grass out of place is considered an affront?  In the face 
       of considerable opposition the couple persisted with their
       experiment and soon witnessed an extraordinary change. New
       life flooded into Knepp, now a breeding hot spot for rare 
       and threatened species like turtle doves, peregrine 
       falcons, and purple emperor butterflies.  The fabled 
       English nightingale sings again.  At a time of looming 
       environmental disaster, Wilding is an inspiring story of a
       farm, a couple, and a community transformed. Isabella 
       Tree's wonderful book brings together science, natural 
       history, a fair bit of drama, and-ultimately-hope.  "By 
       bringing human emotionality to the forefront, Wilding 
       shines a probing light on our relationship with the 
       outdoors."   "A hugely important addition to the 
       literature of what can be done to restore soil and soul." 
       "This wonderfully readable book, which is partly a memoir 
       and partly a plan of action, is an inspirational guide for
       how to 'rewild' a landscape…Honest, thoroughly researched
       , and deeply hopeful."   "Both a timely and important 
       book."  "A book about ecosystem building, about imagining 
       a more beautiful abundance, more life in our lives. It's a
       book about the fact that it's still possible to heal 
       what's barren or polluted and that maybe it would be 
       richer, more joyful, and more possible than we imagine."  
       "A fine work of environmental literature that demands a 
       tolerance for detail and should inspire others to follow 
       suit."  "Isabella Tree's uplifting story of discovering 
       respect and trust in Nature so she can be helped to 
       reflourish is the paradigm shift needed to begin to rewild
       the planet."   "Moved me to tears several times…It is 
       quite simply one of the best books I've ever read."  "The 
       remarkable story of an astounding transformation."  
       "Wilding is one of the most exhilarating books I know. 
       Knepp Castle is a modern marvel, a wild ancient landscape 
       in a modern domestic country, a place filled with birds 
       and animals leading their own independent and remarkable 
       lives. Isabella Tree, who lives there, tells the rich, 
       complicated story of Knepp. As a writer, Tree is both 
       elegant and deeply informed, and the story is full of 
       poetic awareness and scientific foundations. This story 
       will delight anyone who's interested in nature, wildlife, 
       and hope."   "A poignant, practical, and moving story of 
       how to fix our broken land, this should be conservation's 
       salvation; this should be its future; this is a new hope."
       "The Knepp 'wilding' project is a vitally important 
       experiment…This book tells this vital story and deserves 
       to be widely read."
