Wilding is a 2023 British documentary film directed by David Allen, about Charlie Burrell, Isabella Tree and their rewilding project Knepp Wildland in West Sussex. The film is based on Tree's 2018 book of the same name, a memoir and an account of the ecology of the countryside.
The pair own 3,500 acres and since 2001 have been engaged in an “experiment” to make the estate both biodiverse and profitable. Basically, they’ve allowed the animals and the vegetation to take care of themselves, and it’s pleasant, as well as eye-opening, to watch jays, beavers, diving pigs and a heroic swarm of butterflies do their thing.
