In this episode I am delighted to bring you an interview with the people who inspired me to get involved in rewilding, Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell from the fantastic Knepp Estate in West Sussex. There is not a lot to say that has not already been said or written about this project, but this is my take on it, and Charlie and Issy are warm and welcoming, with some great answers to my questions. They are clearly so passionate about what they are doing, but also genuinely surprised at the success they have had. I have put up extensive photos, drone video and audio alongside some text at whatifyoujustleaveit.info and this is the first of three podcasts about Knepp. Whilst this approach is not for everyone or everywhere, it is one that has a wide appeal for marginal and more productive land throughout lowland England, and it this type of project can be widely supported, the change we can make to the UK's biodiversity can be immense. I hope you enjoy it and any comments and reviews very welcome. Thank you for listening.
