- Synopsis:
- "Wilding" tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

A brave project and a fabulous film - Wilding review by VM
3,500 acres to farm on land not suited to modern agricultural practices - so a very brave decision to stop and rewild - introducing various animals that were then just left to live in the wild (and the joy of them surviving their first winter and producing their babies) and allowing plants, trees etc to do their thing. What an amazing and fascinating transformation, year on year, and to learn how animals live in the wild - their behaviour and choice of habitat can be very different to what we now expect. It made me very sad to realise how domesticating animals and depleting our landscapes has so affected our wildlife, but it was joyous to see the reversion to natural instincts. So yes - a great learning curve, and, incidentally, a well made film with some excellent photography. I've just watched it in my local cinema but so look forward to seeing it again soon.
