After two decades of letting nature lead at Knepp Estate, the species recovery has been phenomenal 🦋
The @kneppwilding.bsky.social story is well known. 20 years ago, Charlie Burrell and Isabella Tree's land was managed farmland and the business was struggling.

But ever more people are now helping the wild return, through *rewilding*.
No matter who you are or where you live, you too have a part to play in the fight.
There is no better New Year's resolution.

I just supported this appeal for the NT to buy this vital butterfly site. The surrounding arable land will be converted to flower-rich grassland, greatly expanding the butterfly and wildlife habitat in the centre of the Dorset Downs. Please help if you can www.nationaltrust.org.uk/support-us/a...

🦋 Butterflies are booming across England, thanks to nature friendly farming
New research shows that agri-environment schemes (AES) are significantly boosting biodiversity by paying farmers to adopt nature-friendly practices like wildflower strips and hedgerows.
