Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell - When the Wild Things Returned

After years of running a failing farm in West Sussex, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell decided to hand back control to nature. Slowly but surely, plants shot up, creatures crept in, and the landscape began to heal.
The area now hums with life and is home to some of the rarest species in Britain, such as peregrine falcons, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies. Free from human intervention and monocultures, the farm has become a safe haven for nature which self-corrects and self regulates.
In this episode of the podcast they share their rewilding journey, dispel myths about the antagonism between farming and wilding, and share their hopes for the future of the movement with Hannah MacInnes.
