This really is the best book about nature I have read. This quote from The Times sums it up perfectly: ‘This joyful, poignant memoir tells the story of exhausted land becoming a rich ecosystem again, and in doing so, forces us to rethink farming.’ I feel that perhaps everybody should read it in this era where we find ourselves teetering on the edge of a catastrophe in terms of the natural world. Wilding is extremely beautifully written and the facts are very well researched and presented.
