Looks like a major project to restore some of our British temperate rainforests. Last years trip to Scotland and a visit to the west coast rainforests was a fabulous experience and one I would recommend, so much nature witnessed and the return of some species in these now protected areas are flourishing. We need more of the same!

Wallington Estate Rewilding Project

Just seen on the news that pine martens are being reintroduced at this National Trust Rewilding Project. Coincidentally I think I saw one in Kildale at the weekend.

I guess Nunnykirk will be the nearest C&MC site for those wanting to visit.

Here is a new and novel nature recovery plan aiming to restore some of the Humberside more urban habitats and environments. The project is being carried out by Hull and East Riding Councils. Once past the planning and initial development stage this may be worth a Visit. The Bridlington C&MHC site being the closest to ‘hand’!

The Ruff- A rarely seen bird today but in my youth they were around albeit in fairly small numbers. This iconic wader used to breed in a few locations around the Humber but not recently. There has been a serious decline due in part to agricultural changes on both coasts of the North Sea. However, a new project hopes to reintroduce them.  Never seen them in lek, it’s supposed to be a delightful thing to observe, hopefully there will be a chance in the future though.

A new restorative woodland project has been announce by a North Yorkshire Shooting Estate.

“The Mulgrave Estate is famous for its ancient trees and historic landscape. Apart from commercial timber production and firewood sales, the estate’s woodland programme focuses on the importance of creating and maintaining a thriving and diverse woodland habitat and an attractive environment.”

Let’s hope their efforts will prove to be in all nature’s interests and be raptor tolerant. Hope so!

A new educational and awareness raising initiative here possibly leading to the reintroduction of Lynx, a much needed apex predator in this environment many believe. Good to see farmers hopefully contributing to the discussions,There is much work to be done, mind but what a fabulous achievement this would be if it comes to be.
