Heal The Land

Heal the Land is a compelling, inspiring and hopeful film about the transformation of a former intensive dairy farm in Somerset into a thriving new place for nature and people.

This beautiful 25-minute documentary, filmed entirely at the Heal Somerset site during 2024, is a journey of drama, discovery and insight into the start of this rewilding journey. The film features astonishing new arrivals, a remarkable array of wildlife and insightful commentary from experts and the Heal team. Above all, it shows the extraordinary resilience of nature and how quickly wildlife comes back if we give it space and allow it to thrive.

With England currently one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth, the challenge to restore biodiversity and kickstart nature recovery has never been more urgent.

This screening will be followed by a live Q&A. Two panel discussions will explore both the rewilding journey and the filmmaking process, chaired by Sumita Hutchison, Chair of West England Nature Partnership.

Speakers include film director Tom Francome, producer Hayley Smith, Heal Rewilding CEO Jan Stannard and rewilding ranger Daniel Hill, Eva Bishop from the Beaver Trust and Nick Patel, expert wildlife guide.
