Join Penrith City Council’s Sustainability and Resilience Team to celebrate biodiversity and regeneration of nature with a story about rewilding and biodiversity.
About the movie:
Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate in West Essex, England.
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.
Wilding is a 2023 British documentary film directed by David Allen
