Born to Rewild
with Sir Charles Burrell
Rewilding is has become something of a buzzword in recent years.
Today you can rewild practically anything, from your garden to your gut microbiome! But the origins and relevance of rewilding, as shown in the Wild exhibition, relate to the practice of rewilding at a landscape-scale.
Who better to discuss this approach to ecological recovery than Charlie Burrell, owner of Knepp Estate, home to one of the UK’s leading rewilding projects?
Charlie will talk about what his family has done with the 1400 hectares of the estate over the past 20 years and how the landowning community have the skills and wisdom – after centuries of land management – to come up with innovative and novel solutions for the climate and biodiversity collapse.
Born to Rewild is the third in our series of Wild Talks, chaired by Manchester Museum’s Curator of Botany, Rachel Webster.
