By 2000, with the farm facing bankruptcy, they decided to try something radical. They would restore Knepp's 3,500 acres to the wild. Using herds of free-roaming animals to mimic the actions of the megafauna of the past, they hoped to bring nature back to their depleted land. But what would the neighbors say, in the manicured countryside of modern England where a blade of grass out of place is considered an affront? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the face of considerable opposition the couple persisted with their experiment and soon witnessed an extraordinary change. New life flooded into Knepp, now a breeding hotspot for rare and threatened species like turtle doves, peregrine falcons, and purple emperor butterflies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe fabled English nightingale sings again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a time of looming environmental disaster, \u003ci\u003eWilding\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring story of a farm, a couple, and a community transformed.
