The most highly acclaimed film of the summer on the independent circuit. Introduction by Mark Owen & Naomi Oakley of Challacombe Farm
Wilding tells the story of a young couple who strive to rescue a four hundred year old estate which is no longer successful for farming, by placing the land in the hands of nature. Bringing in a motley crew of pigs, unusual cattle and other animals, they try to recreate the natural state of land as it would have been long ago – and wait to see what happens. Whether you’ve read the book or not, you’ll enjoy watching Isabella Tree and her husband as they take down the fences and watch the birds, animals and insects take over their land – with astonishing results. Mark & Naomi will describe their work at Challacombe Farm managing the landscape whilst farming in a different, sustainable way.
