Rewilding on The Sharpham Estate in South Devon

In this film, we reflect over four years of rewilding on The Sharpham Estate, sharing the successes we've witnessed on the land here.
With our partners Ambios, we restored nature on 50 acres of former farmland on the Estate, near Totnes, South Devon.
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have:
- made more space for wildlife and taken action for nature
- assisted in turning the Sharpham Estate organic
- re-wilded parts of our historic landscape
- helped more people engage with nature here

I have attended 2 Retreats at Sharpham and besides the beauty and benefits of the retreats themselves, whilst there we were given the opportunity to walk, explore and enjoy the land and its inhabitants. Sharpham is such a beautiful and very precious part of the landscape in Devon that must be preserved, cherished and cared for at all costs. Especially when witnessing just how much has been lost throughout the Blessed Isles (UK), The Re-wilding of the Sharpham estate demonstrates what can be done in a relatively short space of time. For anyone who hasn't been to Sharpham I cannot recommend doing so highly enough. It is the perfect setting to not only find and rejuvenate yourself but also to enjoy Mother Nature in all her wonderment.

Thank you so much for saying this and it's great to hear your response to our video - and our work. Thank you.

Wonderful video. If you've never been on retreat to Sharpham, then go. It is a beautiful place.

Love that vision of a wildlife corridor

[@SharphamTrust]

Yep, precisely! We know that rare Great Horseshoe Bats already fly down the 'corridor' of the River Dart to forage for food across Sharpham. The wildlife have their routes too!

Great to hear@@SharphamTrust

[@SharphamTrust]

@@annekscott thank you!

Beautiful...of the many places I have travelled throughout the world I have never felt as connected with nature as I did during a retreat at Sharpham...I was lucky enough to have a kingfisher come really close to me in the reeds and I spent ages examining a cricket in the veg patch. I return to those images again and again. I am so happy that you have undertaken this re-wilding project and it will inspire me to do the same with my patch of land here in the New Forest.

[@SharphamTrust]

This is SO BRILLIANT to hear. Thank you for sharing!

Just come across this channel, i have to admit i never knew Sharpham Estate existed.
Were you inspired to go down this path by what has been achieved on the Knepp Estate in Sussex.👍

[@SharphamTrust]

Yes we were - in fact, we know Isabella & Charlie and our team went there to learn and be inspired by their work. We've got a different type of rewilding here at Sharpham because we're interested in the intersection of people, nature and farming - as opposed to just leaving nature alone - but their story there is so inspiring to us.
