Land healer : how farming can save Britain's countryside

Fiennes, Jake2023
Book
As Conservation Manager at Holkham in Norfolk, Jake Fiennes' radical habitat restoration and agricultural work has nurtured its species and risen its crop yields - bringing back wetlands, hedgerows, birds and butterflies over 25,000 acres of land. But this isn't rewilding - there is no 'wild' in Britain anymore. Mass farming, crop science and industrial chemicals have destroyed the majority of our natural landscape and wildlife over the last century. 'Land Healer' is the story of Fiennes' ambition to bring back our flora and fauna - by reclaiming our traditions and trialling new experiments which could restore our symbiosis with our land, and save our shared future.
