Hosted by Knepp’s ranger Tom Burns, you will head out into the rewilding project with legendary tree gurus Jill Butler and Ted Green, 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.
