Charlie Burrell

Sir Charles Burrell, the 10th Baronet of Knepp, is a landowner and environmentalist noted for his innovative approach to farming and conservation. After facing financial difficulties, he and his wife Isabella Tree made the groundbreaking decision to stop traditional farming practices on their West Sussex estate and allow the land to return to its natural state. This decision was influenced by ecological principles, and Burrell has become an advocate for rewilding, emphasizing the importance of biodiversity and the restoration of natural habitats.
