Sapperton Wilder - Balancing Nature and Farming

450 Acres for Farming — and Wildlife

Rewilding and farming on the same land. It sounds like a tension, but the Sapperton Wilder project is making the case that it's actually the whole point — and this talk brings the people doing it to Tetbury Goods Shed to explain how.

Chenie Prudhomme and Ali Harvey, the Ecology and Engagement Officers behind the project, walk through the three pillars of what's happening across 450 acres of Cotswold land: Grassland Restoration, Agroforestry, and Regenerative Farming. Not just theory — they'll be sharing the results of the ecological monitoring that's been tracking actual changes on the ground, so there's real data behind the conversation. A Q&A follows, which is worth coming for in itself if you've got questions about how any of this works in practice.

Part of Greening Tetbury's Great Big Green Week 2026. Tickets £8.50 advance, £6.50 student/unwaged — a little more on the door if you leave it late. Doors open at 6:45pm.
