Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of the 'Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex.

Forced to accept that intensive farming of their land was economically unsustainable, Isabella and her husband made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over, creating new habitats for wildlife on their four-hundred-year-old estate.

Now home to some of the rarest and most beautiful creatures in the UK, the sheer abundance of life is staggering. This is the inspiring story of one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe, and offers a vision of a future for British wildlife.

The screening on Thursday the 13th of June was followed by a Q&A with Isabella Tree. Hosted by broadcaster Hannah MacInnes.
