James Canton's journey into developing an accessible and everyday approach to rewilding that can be adapted by anyone from the ambitious gardener to the casual window-box owner.
Twenty years ago, James Canton moved from London to the English countryside. Behind his farm labourer's cottage was a small, abandoned field with a 'for sale' sign. James knew that the two-acre patch of earth held more potential – as a place for nature to return and flourish.
Here is the story of how, over a number of years, he undertook a project to 'rewild' the field: digging a pond, forging meadowlands, creating habitats for birds and insects, encouraging flowers and plants that support pollinators and wildlife. Eventually what was once just a grassy space was again buzzing with life.
