So which species would you next like to see returning to Britain?
My vote goes to the white stork!

They deserve to be justifiably proud, it’s a mammoth feat. It’s funny as I’d heard of the ‘muckle town’ area but never gave it a 2nd thought, now I know. That’s rewilding on a great scale reclaiming nature for natures true inhabitants. Thanks Micky boy๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป

Here’s another project not far away.

I think Englethwaite Hall club site may be even closer than those already mentioned. Both projects are community driven and providing opportunities for the local communities to engage in nature/eco tourism. The photos showing the transformation of the landscape and flora and fauna returning are truly fabulous.

This was in the news today and reading of some of the recipients of funding it was good to see a wide cross section of nature represented.

Some fantastic news coming through. More to come as the rewilding projects grow in number and size around the UK. These estates now becoming so much more eco diverse offering a haven for a whole host of native flora and fauna.

Just been reading about this UK reintroduction of a creature I knew nothing of until today.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/06/northern-pool-frogs-return-to-the-uk
A 2022 nature wrap up newsletter I’ve just received, which included the above link along with examples of other reintroduction projects, is full of hope given a mindset change from some. It explains that many of our native reptiles and amphibians are presently seriously at risk. One major threat in my local area to moorland amphibians and reptiles is the prolific over stocking of non native game birds in their territory. The alternative scenario is bleak. Let’s hope for more and better in 2023!๐

More good stuff Micky boy๐๐ป. On one of your other update posts I found a piece about a charity called Mossy Earth about rewilding in Scotland I was very impressed with their ethic & works so I signed up(monetarily) not as a volunteer in Scotland, so thanks for that๐

Never heard of this, makes for fabulous reading. Rewilding and reintroduction projects across the Country and beyond. We have a charity list for every new year a very worthy addition having read all about Mossy Earth. Thanks R2bs
