Isabella Tree

Isabella Tree is a British author and conservationist whose work on rewilding has transformed the UK conservation debate. Together with her husband Charlie Burrell, she runs the Knepp Estate in West Sussex — a pioneering rewilding project that has become one of Europe's most celebrated conservation success stories. White Stork follows the remarkable return of the white stork to Britain — a species that had been absent from the country for over six centuries. The story is intimately connected to the Knepp Estate, where free-roaming cattle, pigs, and horses have created the diverse habitats that storks and hundreds of other species need to thrive. Tree's earlier book Wilding was a Sunday Times bestseller that told the full story of Knepp's transformation from failing farm to thriving wilderness. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers inspiring, beautifully observed nature writing about what happens when we let the land breathe — stories of ecological restoration that prove wildlife can come back if we give it the chance.
