Knepp Castle Estate Rewilding Project Tour

EuCAN (European Conservation Action Network) have organised a guided tour of the Knepp rewilding project on 5th & 6th July 2015. The tour itself will take place on the Knepp Castle Estate in Sussex for a limited number of EuCAN members and supporters on Monday July 6th, with the option of camping on the estate the night before (July 5th). 

The Knepp Rewilding project is the inspired brainchild of Charles Burrell the owner, and is a very interesting example of an alternative and sustainable method of land management. See http://www.knepp.co.uk/  for full information on the project and the Knepp Estate.

The various herbivores cows, deer, horses and pigs - affect the vegetation in different ways helping to create a mosaic of habitats including open grassland, regenerating scrub, bare ground and forested groves."
