A Wilding Year - nature across the Seasons. An illustrated talk with Hannah Dale

Thursday 19th June 2025 4:00 - 5:00 pm at Huntingdon Methodist Church.
Enjoy an illustrated talk from Hannah Dale, the artist behind successful stationery and gift design company Wrendale Designs, about the ambitious rewilding project that she and her husband have undertaken on their 300-acre farm.
When Hannah and Jack inherited his fathers farm in North Lincolnshire, they soon realised that the poor soil made it challenging for food production and the perfect candidate for rewilding.
In her new book, A Wilding Year, she recounts the remarkable process of restoring the farms ecosystems, creating a mosaic of opportunities for wildlife at a time when the natural world is in great need of protection.
Hannah will give a talk about the rewilding process and show some of her stunning sketches and illustrations that capture the beauty and power of nature across the seasons.Hannah recounts the remarkable and exciting changes, together with the struggles, the farm undergoes as natural processes are allowed to return, creating a mosaic of opportunities for wildlife. The abundance of flora and fauna are captured by Hannahs enchanting sketches and illustrations of skylarks, hobbies, short eared owls, goldcrests, hedgehogs, polecats, hares, meadow brown butterflies, emperor dragonflies, hawk moths, bats, roe deer, woodcock, snipe, marsh orchids and ink cap and beef steak fungi, spectacularly bringing to life the beauty and power of nature in every season.
In partnership with the Niche Comics Bookshop. Doors 3.45 pm with coffee/tea/cakes available.
