WILDING WITH ISABELLA TREE (KNEPP ESTATE)
A HASLEMERE BOOKSHOP EVENT AT THE MUSEUM
Isabella Tree will be joining us to tell the story of the `Knepp experiment', a pioneering rewilding project in West Sussex, using free-roaming grazing animals to create new habitats for wildlife. Her book, Wilding is part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, and above all, an inspiring story of hope. Isabella will also be signing copies of her 'Wilding' book.
Friday 1st February at 7:30 pm - admission £6.  To book call 01428 652952 or email the bookshop.
