Restoration and rewilding

For those interested in nature revival here is a map of the growing number of project across the UK. There is soon to be one local to us Humber Region) being added, news of that later in the year I’m told. Many are open to visitors and te ones we visit are seen incredible results in species diversity.

With CaMC sites like Nunnykirk, River Breamish and Berwick Seaview close to hand this latest rewilding project will see local communities, farmers, land owners and The National Park working together for the betterment of Nature. Well worth planning a future trip me thinks!

This latest news looks encouraging!

I know many of us ‘campers’ really enjoy the great outdoors and nature so here’s news of a really exciting new rewilding project worthy of consideration for next year’s travels. An historical family estate which has now transformed itself from almost a monoculture to a diverse nature rich environment, brilliant. Not far from Skipton with Bolton Abbey and Warfedale club sites close by. It’ll be on our list.

Do you think that they would be keen to establish a CL on there?  We have driven last the entrance a few time but never had a chance to visit the estate yet. Definitely a forward thinking family.

Now there’s an idea, that would rightly help monitor the visitor numbers to the occupancy of 5 vans and pressure on these developing habitats. 👍 

How about this though, what a truly inspirational and equally forward thinking rewilding initiative. A must visit in my opinion. The momentum is growing and building and the naysayers are now fewer in number and increasingly becoming like fish out the water. An inspirational insight here.

It’s working and what’s more small committed to the cause farmers are playing an important and crucial  part!

Species back from the brink!

Another nice little rewilding story

The only place we have ever seen “glow worms” was at Marazion Club Site on our long hot Summers spent there. They could often be found outside the site, on the bend where the back road to Marazion veered off, just before the site entrance. We spotted them for years, but then they got rarer and rarer.

Here is a recent update and links to a wonderful rewilding project in Dorset where in just a couple of years a whole range of species that had been missing for decades are now returning and breeding. Haycraft,  Hunters Moon and Crossways C&MC sites close by for those wishing to plan a visit to this area and the several nature reserves thereabouts.

Brilliant news today, farmers, crofters, land owners, RSPB and other conservation agencies working together to promote particular ‘wilder’ habitats for the endangered corncrake. It’s working and the numbers are rising. Similar projects now going ahead in Northern Ireland and Eire. May be  more across the UK in those likely habitats?
