A couple gave up on a failing Sussex farm, pulled out the fences and let 3,500 acres go feral; it became the template for British rewilding
A British farm, once burdened by debt, became a successful rewilding project. Free-roaming herbivores were introduced to restore the land's natural processes. Bird and butterfly populations significantly increased after the rewilding efforts began. This project demonstrates that damaged land can recover within a human lifetime. Similar initiatives are now underway on the American prairie.
