Upcoming events are shown below:
Cheddon & West Monkton Film Club - Wilding (2023) PG (Documentary)
15 November 2024
Director: David Allen, with Matthew Collyer, Rhiannon Neads & Isabella Tree
Runtime: 75 mins
Wilding is based on Isabella Tree’s 2018 memoir of how she and her husband Charlie Burrell completely overhauled the 1400-acre Knepp estate he had inherited in Sussex. The first thing they were told when they took over the land was that they would never make a go of farming it, as the soil had been impoverished by over-intensive cultivation, so the couple decided to experiment with returning it to the wild. They introduced wild ponies from Dartmoor, let deer wander, and allowed herds of pigs to roam freely (to the disapproval of their neighbours). All their cows and sheep live outdoors all year round with little husbandry.
