Story of the Oak

Select date
Information
You will head out into the rewilding project with Knepp’s head ranger and woodman, Tom Burns, to visit some of Knepp’s remarkable oaks. You’ll follow the journey of an oak from an acorn in a jay’s beak through to an ancient giant. Learn about the importance of thorny scrub as the ideal nursery for young trees and the importance of natural regeneration for a tree’s genetic diversity and resilience. In Knepp’s wood pasture landscape you’ll find another meaning for the word ‘forest’ – a much more diverse and dynamic ecosystem, in tune with the forests of old.
Mid-way through the safari you’ll break for a refreshing drink and locally made brownies.
This is a walking safari that lasts approx 3 hours at a gentle pace with frequent stops. You’ll need a moderate level of fitness and be able to cope with walking on uneven ground.
PLEASE NOTE: Story of the Oak Safaris start in a different place to Knepp Wildland safaris. Do not go to the campsite/safari car park; please follow the directions to the Wilding Shop on your pre-visit email.
