Isabella Tree's TED talk is out! 🗣️🍃
We may think of rewilding as something huge - restoring nature and wildlife in vast landscapes - but anyone who has a garden, backyard or window box can do it.
Isabella tells us how. Watch the talk ⬇️

"What a tower of strength and inspiration Jane Goodall was (and a shining example of nominative determinism!). We’ll miss her compassionate voice and calm wisdom...

BREAKING GNAWS! 🚨
Earlier in the summer, we said that two beaver kits had been born at Knepp this year. We were wrong. We have three!
And we've named them Birch, Beech and Bay.
It's the most kits our original beaver pair have ever had in one year.

What shall we name our two new beaver kits? Comment your suggestions below!
We're looking for 'B' names. Brooke and Banksy are the two adults. Buster and Booster were the 2023 kits. Bach and Bracken were last year’s kits.
📽️Two of the kits' older siblings earlier this month, aged one and two.

Introducing the two newest members of the Knepp team! 🦫🦫
Two beaver kits have been born this summer. Here they are playing together outside of their lodge. Their small size and extra buoyancy confirms they are new! We think they're 6 - 8 weeks old.

Are there new beaver kits in the lodge? We still don’t know for sure, but there are signs… 🦫
A few months ago, the beavers felled a willow. Now, they’re harvesting its new growth. They've done this previously when the older female has been in the lodge nursing kits.

It's the plant people love to hate... and it's going to be everywhere this summer.

'Ocean with David Attenborough' is an incredible film. Have you seen it yet?
We’re trying to do our bit. Knepp Wilding Kitchen sources fish from one local fisher who uses a line or large-gauge nets.
