Our next Zoom speaker will be JILL BUTLER whose subject will be ‘The Knepp Wilding Project.: Is it Good for Wildlife?’
The Knepp Estate in West Sussex has been wilding for about 15 years - the transition has been from intensive milk production to extensive pastoralist.
Jill Butler is a specialist
in ancient wood pasture and she will talk in particular about the wilding of trees
and shrubs and the soil. She will be
showing how this has turned some aspects of ecology upside down, indicating a better way to regenerate biodiversity for the future. It
promises to be a fascinating talk.
