Changing the world one step at a time
Since arriving on the Holkham Estate just over three years ago, Jake Fiennes has seen his radical approach to land management and conservation bear fruit in more ways than one...
Two of his brothers are award-winning actors, another is a respected music producer in Los Angeles, his two sisters are film directors, and one of his cousins is one of the most famous explorers in the world.
So how did Jake Fiennes come to be Director of Conservation on a country estate in north Norfolk?
It’s been an interesting journey.
His father Mark was a tenant farmer in the 1960s, and Jake had a natural affinity with nature from a very early age.
When he was 10 he painted his face white to blend in with the family’s chickens. He liked keeping slow worms, he liked catching hornets, and he had a habit of storing roadkill in the family freezer.
While his brothers and sisters went into the arts Jake stayed with the natural world, which may seem a bit odd
