Discover the Power of Rewilding: A Special Screening of “Wilding” at Bank Woods
Rewilding has captured the imagination of conservationists and nature enthusiasts around the world as a forward-thinking approach to restore and enhance natural ecosystems. At Make It Wild, we are excited to extend an invitation to an inspiring evening that will shine a spotlight on this important movement. Join us at our charming, off-grid barn nestled in the ancient woodlands of Bank Woods for a special screening of the compelling documentary “Wilding,” followed by a thoughtful discussion on how we all can contribute to nature’s revival.
Why “Wilding” Is a Must-Watch
“Wilding” tells the fascinating story of Isabella Tree and her husband, Charlie Burrell, as they transform their struggling Knepp estate into one of the most extensive rewilding projects in the UK. The film details their trials and successes as they reintroduce native species like ponies, deer, and pigs into the land, which lead to an astonishing revival of plant and animal life. This documentary is not just a tale of environmental recovery; it is a beacon of hope showing that with dedication and understanding, degraded lands can be restored to their natural, wild states, promoting biodiversity and ecological health.
How “Wilding” Connects with Make It Wild
At Make It Wild, our commitment to preserving and enhancing natural habitats through rewilding efforts mirrors the narrative showcased in “Wilding.” Our projects, like those depicted in the film, demonstrate the positive impacts of allowing ecosystems to restore themselves with minimal human interference. By hosting this screening, we aim to educate and inspire our community about the importance and effectiveness of such conservation efforts and encourage more people to get involved.
What to Expect on the Evening of June 20th
The event kicks off at 6:30 PM with a wild buffet supper prepared by the talented team at Wildings Riverside Cafe. Enjoy a meal that celebrates the local produce, with ingredients sourced right from the surrounding lands and foraged from our woodlands and meadows. Weather permitting, we’ll dine alfresco, surrounded by the very landscapes we’re working to protect.
Following dinner, we’ll move to our barn’s cozy first-floor studio, where “Wilding” will be screened. After the film, stay for a facilitated discussion led by a field expert. This session will delve into the key themes of the film and explore practical ways each of us can participate in rewilding efforts, whether through local projects or broader initiatives.

It’s an opportunity to learn about the ground-breaking work being done in the field of conservation, and how you can play a part in these initiatives.
