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!

As discussed many times previously the issue of fox population control is key in a lot of areas. But the thing is how it’s done! We messed the eco system up big time, we now need to help sort it out. Ritualised and Ceremonial means of achieving this are not the right way and this method has been rightly banned.
Deer populations also are out of control right across the UK, ‘our’ fault, but it’s how we go about redressing the balance that’s important. Some are adamant and want high density of deer populations for sport in certain areas but they are wrecking many natural habitats across the UK. We need a way forward which sees the whole of nature involved and all ecosystems as contributing and crucial factors in this equation. That’s what restorative and rewilding projects are attempting to do and dare I say it succeeding in many instances.

And those who get all their nature knowledge from TV programmes do everything, led by some " so called celebrities" to stop any attempt at control. They have the time, resources and lobbying capacity whilst those of us in the countryside have no time as we are trying to earn a proper living.

Some really encouraging news here. Fantastic project turning the tide on populations of Red listed birds and others. Worth a motorhome visit me thinks in the near future.
Brilliant example of how land use changes can help diversity! The message is getting through!

For those of us wishing to visit a fine example of a parish’s efforts to improve their patch. Inspirational!

Some very helpful information from a farming organisation here as to how nature can, and should be, a consideration for all in the grand agricultural plan to save environments and species.

Well done to them, keep up the good work.

Here is a very progressive take on promoting action to halt those declines in nature as reported in the SoN report 2023, there is hope! The future could be bright!
