Knepp Wildland, Nature reserve in West Sussex, England
The Knepp Wildland spans 3,500 acres of natural landscape where cattle, ponies, pigs, and deer roam freely through grasslands and wood pastures.
The Burrell family transformed their 220-year-old agricultural estate into a rewilding project in 2001, shifting from intensive farming to natural habitat restoration.
Isabella Tree documented the transformation of Knepp estate in her publication, which details the methods and outcomes of this large-scale environmental project.
Visitors can explore 16 miles of public footpaths through the reserve, with four color-coded routes ranging from 2.2 to 10 kilometers in length.
The reserve houses five elevated platforms for wildlife observation and marks the location where white storks bred successfully in England after 600 years.
