Knepp Wildland is England's first major rewilding project, spanning 3,500 acres of former farmland at Knepp Castle in West Sussex. Established in 2000 by Charlie and Isabella Burrell, the project focuses on restoring natural ecosystems by allowing herbivores like red deer, longhorn cattle, and Tamworth pigs to graze freely, promoting biodiversity and supporting rare species. The project offers various nature-based enterprises, including accommodation options like safari-style camping and treehouse glamping. The Wilding Kitchen restaurant serves sustainable, seasonal produce, and the estate features a butchery for wild pastured meat. Visitors can enjoy experiential tourism through safari and garden tours, as well as participate in educational and wellness programs. Knepp is recognized as a Verified Conservation Area and is part of the Rewilding Europe Network, showcasing effective ecological restoration methods that benefit local economies. Future initiatives aim to expand the rewilding network and enhance regional conservation efforts.
