Have you heard the new episode of the Knepp Wilding Podcast? This time, Isabella Tree speaks with two reptile experts running surveys at Knepp, including an incredible 17 year old who seems to have a sixth sense for finding snakes and lizards. Listen: knepp.co.uk/2026/06/epis...

Wow, we've had such an incredible response to Springwatch that it's made our website wobble. In the meantime, you can book a table at our restaurant here: www.sevenrooms.com/explore/knep...

BBC Springwatch is with us this week, broadcasting live from the Wildland. The very kind Iolo Williams took a few minutes earlier to tell us what to expect in tonight's episode. The crew have been beavering away all day getting ready... Watch it on BBC 2 at 8pm, or catch up on BBC i Player.

If you signed up to take part and haven't heard from us please DM me - we are missing an email address from one participant!

"Other than humans and elephants, beavers are the most significant keystone species on the planet." Read why Isabella Tree says beavers should be honoured on the new £20 banknote. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Housed in a large barn on the edge of the estate, Knepp Wilding Kitchen feels as relaxed as the cows in the fields surrounding it, an intentionally inclusive space decorated with posies of dried winter foliage & fairy lights." In today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social 🍃 observer.co.uk/style/food/a...

Thank you to @adamvaughan.bsky.social of the Times for covering the work of the Knepp beavers. They're busy rewilding the land, holding back flood water, cleaning streams. We urgently need more beavers in the UK. We urge the government to speed up wild releases. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

@kneppwilding.bsky.social’s two-decade ecological review is invaluable evidence that rewilding works. Once familiar but now scarce birds, butterflies, dragonflies and more have all staged comebacks. For example, results show a 900% increase in breeding birds, with a 500% rise in nightingales. 🧵4/6

What's On at Knepp this September? Plenty! From author suppers, to delicious dinners and from a wedding venue open day to sumptuous garden produce and tours... September at Knepp is bursting with late summer goodness.

What shall we name our two new beaver kits? Comment your suggestions below! We're looking for 'B' names. Brooke and Banksy are the two adults. Buster and Booster were the 2023 kits. Bach and Bracken were last year’s kits. 📽️Two of the kits' older siblings earlier this month, aged one and two.

We're generationally behind 🦫 Over 103 years ago, at dawn on 6 July 1922, two Eurasian beavers slipped into Sweden’s River Bjurälven and quietly launched one of Europe’s first beaver restoration projects.

Introducing the two newest members of the Knepp team! 🦫🦫 Two beaver kits have been born this summer. Here they are playing together outside of their lodge. Their small size and extra buoyancy confirms they are new! We think they're 6 - 8 weeks old. 📹Ryan Greaves @kneppwildlandfdn.bsky.social

We are so pleased to announce that with a total of 45 chicks ringed this year @kneppwilding.bsky.social, most have taken their first flights! Here is the moment the first live cam chick fledged! Now, this year's chicks are honing their flying skills and preparing to migrate soon.

Are there new beaver kits in the lodge? We still don’t know for sure, but there are signs… 🦫 A few months ago, the beavers felled a willow. Now, they’re harvesting its new growth. They've done this previously when the older female has been in the lodge nursing kits. 📷 @mostlyscarce.bsky.social

💜SOME GOOD NEWS! 💜 It's officially a record year for purple emperor butterflies. Knepp butterfly expert and safari guide Neil Hulme spoke to the Guardian about the incredible year they're having at Knepp, and elsewhere. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's the plant people love to hate... and it's going to be everywhere this summer. But ragwort is actually a wildlife powerhouse. Read the blog my Knepp's lead ecologist Matt Phelps: https://knepp.co.uk/2025/06/a-big-year-for-ragwort-the-plant-we-love-to-hate/ @mostlyscarce.bsky.social‬

The live cam chicks at @kneppwilding.bsky.social are getting ready to fledge– flapping, stretching, and testing their wings! The oldest is 60 days old, so fledging could happen any moment now. Their first flight is always a thrill so tune in live on YouTube and don't miss it! 🎥
