Grove Cinema Friday 2nd May 6.30pm (film at 7pm) ‘WILDING’

In conjunction with Horsforth Climate Action.
Documentary based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. They battle entrenched tradition, and dare to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments.

Free but donations welcome to cover costs. Entrance on New St, refreshments in interval.
