Tree, Isabella

Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face. ‘The Book of Wilding’ is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature. It is ambitious, visionary and pragmatic. The book has grown out of Isabella and Charlie’s mission to help rewild Britain, Europe and the rest of the world by sharing knowledge from their pioneering project in Sussex. They receive droves of requests from individuals wanting to learn how to rewild gardens, allotments, churchyards; as well as community groups keen to influence local authorities to transform parks, roadside verges, riverbanks and other public spaces. This book has the answers.
