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 father’s 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 farm’s 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.
In partnership with the Friends of Marsden Library. Doors 6.30pm with coffee/tea/cakes available to buy.
Hannah Dale runs Wrendale Designs, a stationery and gift design company that specialises in endearing illustrations depicting British wildlife, which she founded in 2012. Hannah grew up in rural Lincolnshire which has always inspired her watercolour illustrations. Studying art at school before reading zoology at Cambridge, she went on to work as a stockbroker in London before returning to Lincolnshire to find an outlet for her artistic roots and passion for ecology and conservation. Hannah’s previous books include: A Dog’s Life, The Farmyard Set, Born to be Wild, The Young Ones and Flying the Nest.
