“Turtle Doves and Capercaillie: My visits to Knepp rewilding Estate and the Cairngorms Connect Project by Jonathan Stanley

Join our Wicklow branch for an evening with the Branch Chair Mr Jonathan Stanley discussing his visit to the Knepp rewilding Estate and the Cairngorms Connect Project
“Since we began rewilding in 2000, life has poured back to Knepp, including nightingales, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies – some of the rarest creatures in Britain. Roaming herds of cattle, ponies, pigs and deer shape the land, creating dynamic scrub-land, wild meadows, wetland and wood pasture. Knepp is a story of hope, showing how nature can bounce back, if we let it.”
Admission is free, a voluntary contribution to cover the cost of room hire would be appreciated
