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!

Fabulous vision there Goldie! The family have created a farm which has been free from artificial fertilisers and pesticides for the past 16 years. They are now finding restorative practices and areas to develop which are so beneficial to nature. Every bit helps. The ‘grants’ help too!š

Some really encouraging news here on the restorative projects in Cumbria. More please!
Joined up thinking at its best!

From unproductive and non profitable farmland to an embryonic patchwork for nature. One of a growing number across our land inspired and ‘managed’ by enlightened folk working with their community. Hopefully, in years to come, a place to visit and enjoy.

Looks like those hooves are doing the trick. A step forward for this IoW rewilding project.

For those of us who enjoy Cornish holidays this might be of interest particularly those with an interest in rewilding and restorative projects.

Apparently they are putting plans together to consider an osprey reintroduction programme.

Looks like many do, their fundraising effort reached its initial total very quickly and a new one set.
The first time I saw ospreys in the wild was on the coast in BC, Canada in not a too different habitat to our Cornish coast. In fact most birds there were hunting in salt water. I reckon, with help, there is a home for them there. Just needs faith, a will and an effort. After all, there is evidence they frequented Kernow in the past.

They have survived ‘alongside’ each other in the past, present and I’m sure can do in the future. They tend to inhabit slightly different habitats and have very different hunting techniques. I don’t think there is any real conflict between these species at all, it’s humans that are the problem!
