Hollywood legend and Oscar Winner Vanessa Redgrave Launches New Wildwood Film


Wildwood launches a new documentary film at a premier hosted by Hollywood legend and Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave.

Hosted by Vanessa and her Director son, Carlo Nero, with a guest list including the UK's leading conservationists,  the premier will be held at the Soho Headquarters of 20th Century Fox on Tuesday 18th October.

The Film, entitled 'The Killing Fields', explores how a 'land Value Tax' would not only stimulate jobs and enterprise but put a value on all of our natural resources and encourage us to look after them.

Peter Smith, Wildwood Trust's Chief Executive, who is the main commentator to the film, said:

"If a 'Land Value Tax' was implemented this would mean hard to farm areas and marginal land of little use to society would naturally become land set aside for wildlife and allow the recreation of little wild woods across the country"

Land Value Tax has been hitting the headlines lately with politicians from all political parties recognising the role it could play in getting the country out of recession and addressing the growing problems of wealth division and tax avoidance.

Wildwood Trust is a charity which runs the Canterbury based Wildwood Woodland discovery Park, an ideal day out for all the family where you can come 'nose to nose' with British Wildlife. Wildwood offers its members and visitors a truly inspirational way to learn about the natural history of Britain by actually seeing the wildlife that once lived here, like the wolf, beaver, red squirrel, wild boar and many more.
Wildwood is situated close to Canterbury, just off the A291 between Herne Bay and Canterbury.

Wildwood Trust is Kent's unique 'Woodland Discovery Park', a visitor attraction with a difference.

Wildwood is not only the best place to bring the family for a day out, but it is also a bold and innovative new charity, backed by the UK's leading wildlife conservationists. As a new charity Wildwood needs everyone's support in its mission to save our native and once native wildlife from extinction.

Wildwood Trust's vision is to bring back our true 'wildwood', a unique new way of restoring Britain's land to its natural state. This involves releasing large wild herbivores and developing conservation grazing systems to restore natural ecological processes to help Britain team with wildlife again.

The Wildwood 'Woodland Discovery Park' is an ideal day out for all the family where you can come 'nose to nose' with British Wildlife. Wildwood offers its members and visitors a truly inspirational way to learn about the natural history of Britain by actually seeing the wildlife that once lived here.

Set in a sublime 38 acres of Ancient Woodland, Wildwood offers visitors a truly unique experience. Come Nose to Nose with our secretive badgers, experience what it is like to be hunted by a real live pack of wolves, watch a charging wild boar or track down a beaver in his lodge.

Wildwood Trust runs a highly successful programme of Conservation Projects
- we are the UK's leading experts in rescuing and re-establishing colonies of Britain's most threatened mammal, the water vole. Wildwood Trust has pioneered the use of ancient wild horses to restore nature reserve. Wildwood Trust has been at the forefront of efforts to re-establish the European Beaver back in Britain where they belong. European Beaver have been proven to help manage water ways to bring back a huge range of plants, insects and animals.
