We are rewilding pioneers, working with nature to build a sustainable future. Our purpose is to continue on the journey of process-led rewilding, seeking to encourage further dynamic natural processes by such means as key species reintroductions and varying the management of the large herbivores. We aim to inspire and promote rewilding through evidence-based studies rigorously conducted at Knepp, and through engagement with local communities, NGOs, policy-makers and educators. Rewilding provides the ethical context for all other activities on the Estate.
This summer, we are opening a café, restaurant and shop in a renovated 18th century barn. Scheduled to open in July, we will showcase Knepp’s own produce, as well as that of other like-minded sustainable, organic and rewilding suppliers. We aim to stimulate both the physical senses and the imagination to inspire people with Knepp’s rewilding ethos.
Professor Sir John Lawton, author of the 2010 Making Space for Nature report says: “Knepp Estate is one of the most exciting wildlife conservation projects in the UK, and indeed in Europe. If we can bring back nature at this scale and pace just 16 miles from Gatwick airport we can do it anywhere. I’ve seen it. It’s truly wonderful, and it fills me with hope.”
