Join us for an evening with Ben Goldsmith on his rewilding efforts in Southwest England which will focus on restoring natural habitats and reintroducing native species to the Southwest region.

Goldsmith’s work at Cannwood Farm is a testament to his commitment to rewilding and restoring biodiversity recovery through natural processes rather than intensive agriculture. His efforts are part of a broader movement towards nature restoration and have inspired others to take similar actions across the country.

Ben’s approach to rewilding at Cannwood Farm includes:

Planting Wood Pasture: Goldsmith has planted wood pasture on parts of his land to allow nature to thrive and recover.
Light Grazing: He has implemented a light grazing policy, grazing one cow every 10 acres, following the Knepp Estate playbook.
Community Engagement: Goldsmith’s efforts have been supported by discussions with neighbours and advisors, ensuring a collaborative approach to nature recovery.
Nature Recovery Journey: His journey at Cannwood Farm has been a significant step towards rewilding, with a focus on creating a vibrant landscape that supports a variety of wildlife and plant species.

Ben Goldsmith’s commitment to rewilding is evident in his advocacy for nature restoration and the economic value of nature. He believes that rewilding can be achieved through leaving nature alone and has been instrumental in promoting this approach in the UK and globally. Goldsmith’s work has inspired many, and he continues to be a leading figure in the rewilding movement.
