Re wilding by Isabella Tree is a great read.
Its the story of her family farm Nepp and how they started in 2000 taking it back to how it would have been hundreds of years ago.
It started because the rare turtle dove was spotted on their land, they wanted to make sure this once common bird was brought back from the brink of extinction.
They have purple emperor butterflies and many other species back in abundance.
Problem now is a housing estate is planned and this will break the wild areas up.
Continuation of areas is an absolute must.
If we lose places like Nepp, then quite frankly there's no hope for nature.
@Bunnyhop Is the housing estate near Knepp not the council being deliberately awkward about meeting government house building targets by planning it somewhere they know will generate a huge outcry?
ratherbeintobago - I know little about the housing that might be built (or who is responsible for giving permission), only the fact it will fracture the wild areas.
