Really interesting visit to @sunartfields today to learn about their #naturelead approach to the farm
Beautiful golden light, richly developing scrub and hedgerows and an impressive level of new woodland creation. 💚 Thanks to @TimBirchWild for organising. 👍

@PaulConnollyNI Thanks! No these aren’t lined. But the soil is quite heavy on clay so should be some natural retention, and we expect the level to move a bit with the level of rainfall.
English
@sunartfields Brilliant. Any type of liners or other way of retaining the water?

One of two wildlife ponds that are being dug here this week, with several more to follow. Given the rainfall we’ve had of late they are almost full already! Might look like a muddy mess just now, but give it a couple of months and they will begin teeming with life.

@guyshrubsole @GeorgeMonbiot @ChrisGPackham @CarolineLucas @BenGoldsmith @jossgarman @RobGMacfarlane @MeganMcCubbin @michaelastracha @JackieMorrisArt @CraigBennett3 Signed!!! The lack of mature tree cover in the UK is nothing short of truly appalling 😪

Britain is a rainforest nation - but we cut down most of our rainforests over the centuries. Overgrazed and under-recognised, only fragments remain.
Please sign my petition calling on the UK Govt to protect and restore Britain's lost rainforests:

Huge thanks to our friends and #volunteers we have now planted over 17,500 saplings since we first started about 14 months ago. This is an important intervention in a #rewilding plan to kick start the diversity in the fields. We can’t wait to see how this landscape evolves.

It was great to host you @AliDriverUK and share plans!

Very interesting visit to Sunart Fields at #WhaleyBridge. One of the biodiversity net gain pilot sites. 120 acre farm with a blend of rewilding and nature-friendly farming. Valuable model for small medium farms interested in BNG funding. sunartfields.com

Just completed the first draft of our @RewildingB response to the government response to the Glover Review of Protected Landscapes (yes I know 😂) and now I’m passing through the @peakdistrict National Park. No prizes for guessing what our response will focus on.
