Isabella Tree is an award-winning author and travel writer who, together with her conservationist husband Charlie Burrell, has pioneered a rewilding project in West Sussex and turned an old family farm back into an environment from another era. Among the Longhorn Cattle, Exmoor Ponies and Tamworth Pigs that roam the landscape are Beavers, dozens of pairs of Nightingales, Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers, Peregrine Falcons, Turtle Doves and Storks. In fact, the first pair of Storks to nest in a British chimney since 1416 made their home in Isabella's house. In this podcast she explains what rewilding is, discusses its scalability and its role in the UK's future, engages with criticism, discusses how to eat meat sustainably and reveals plans for a cafe on site to nourish walkers, campers and glampers. Isabella’s The Book Of Wilding is out now.
