From the best-selling author and rewilding pioneer Isabella Tree,
When We Went Wild is a heartwarming, sustainably printed picture book
about the benefits of letting nature take the lead, inspired by
real-life rewilding projects.
Nancy and Jake are farmers. They raise their cows and pigs, and grow
their crops. They use a lot of big machines to help them, and spray a
lot of chemicals to get rid of the weeds and the pests. That's what all
good farmers do, isn't it? And yet, there is no wildlife living on their
farm. The animals look sad. Even the trees look sad! One day, Nancy
has an idea... what if they stopped using all the machines, and all
the chemicals, and instead they went wild?
The author's own experience of rewilding her estate at Knepp in West
Sussex, England, has influenced conservation techniques around the world
that are bringing nature back to the countryside and bringing
threatened species back from the brink.

Praise for Wilding, the author's best-selling memoir:
"In a story that is part personal memoir, part work of conservation,
Tree reveals the capacity of the wild to reclaim the land--as long as
humans step out of the way." --Smithsonian, "The Ten Best Science
Books of 2018"
"Wilding is both a timely and important book." --Tim Flannery, The New
York Review of Books
