A Quiet Faerie LifeJan 15, 2023

I just finished #Wilding by #IsabellaTree which chronicles and delves into her and husband's journey on wilding #KneppFarm

Not only is this #book a goldmine of interesting info. It really opens up ones eyes to the sheer hoops people have to jump through in order to try and make the world better. To try and help the earth.

This book covers so much about the #environmental, #conservational #political #social and #scientific hurdles, issues, reactions and help that this couple went through in order to try wilding their farm. I was floored. It was just phenomenal. The tangents were fascinating and I've come away with pages of notes of people, places and books to research.

This is a very specific eg of wilding but that's what makes it so amazing to read. Isabella goes in-depth about their land. The tangents are all a Domino effect, showing how intertwined their parcel of land is to the bigger area and even country (looking at the waterways section and Birdlife)

@aquietfaerielife Yes, I found it a fascinating read and the Knepp estates pioneering work the inspiration for many other projects starting up around the U.K.

@DavidTanner it really was an inspiration to read and the hurdles they faced and challenges of balancing their goals with the politics was just fascinating.

Thank you so much for the link! It's so cool to read up on these projects. Gives one hope.
