Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm Free Audiobook Download by Isabella Tree


The wilding is a plant that once grew on the farm. The owners of this farm wanted to see the natural world removed, but now the wilding is back and the UK has been set for some interesting changes.

Mark, a farmer's son, grew up in the English countryside where he learned to love nature. When his father promised him land free from farming in exchange for taking care of the farm as an old man, Mark and his wife decided to get involved with organic farming and they started their own farm seven years ago. Their view was that by not using pesticides or herbicides they could have wild flowers, animals, and plants back in the landscape. Unfortunately, time passed without any change and their land began to look like a wasteland once again. In this story, Mark learns again what it means to be part of nature after a year of drought made things difficult on the farm. By observing nature's return he begins to understand how important it is for humans

Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm is the story of how an unknown wild creature called the red squirrel found their way home. When Red Squirrels were hunted to near extinction in the UK, they left no trace, so when one suddenly turned up and was caught, scientists used this event as a chance to learn more about them. This audiobook reveals the truth behind why these animals are returning back to UK farms and forests.

The story begins in mid-January, as the frost lies thick on the ground and a cold wind whips across the English countryside. A stocky man with a thin gray moustache is struggling to open a gate to let his cattle out from behind a high white fence. The cattle are locked into an old corral that has seen better days. The incoming storm turns day into night, and he calls up his wife from the house at dusk to come help him; by morning, both are dead of exposure.

The narrator, who is writing this book from the perspective of her own experience as a farmer and ecologist, tells how her family's farm has returned to the wild. She explains about what happened in England since the industrial revolution, and how we have ignored nature for a long time because we have always been told that "nature will take care of itself." This view is changing now.

In this book, author Isabella Tree shares her personal story of the changes that happened when she took over her family farm and started working with wildlife. The book ranges from the daily life on a farm to what happens when you have too many animals, which can lead to food scarcity and hunger.
