"It's a meditation on perceptions of perceptions, each narrator coloring his or her own recollection and all the recollections within it."

I only found out about this place last year, even though it’s close to where my mum lives in Bedfordshire. I went there at dawn in May and was immersed in song: warblers, cuckoos, turtle doves. Nightingales everywhere. A dream made real. A revelation of what’s possible.
An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies.
Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍
