Simply beautiful

Wonderful composition of such a graceful creature. Thank you Steve. Peter

So affirming to have confirmation that I’m part of an aware group of people taking action all over the earth to allow nature to regenerate. I am also fortunate to have around 7 acres of land which I have virtually on my own rewilded. Of course my circumstances are different but in my case the whole project slowly evolved over a number of years and nature herself does the work when given the freedom . It is amazing observing the innate intelligence that orchestrates the healing and the rich biodiversity that was waiting in the wings for the opportunity to correct mankind’s mistaken and arrogant view of his importance in the scheme of things. As you are in Scotland may I suggest you read the wonderful poem of the insightful, reflective national poet Robert Burns To A Mouse, which says it all. Thank you for sharing and spreading the message of hope. The future is in our hearts and hands and if not us who?🙏💚🫂🧘🏻‍♀️xx

I recall much worse storms in the 1980s

"We can't possibly do better than nature", then why are you planting trees? You mention you're controlling the movement of deer but how many deer are you actually culling each year? Have you surveyed to see what's there already? Sorry for the potentially quite brutal comment but I'm just a bit sick of the default to planting when the biggest issue is the deer, and planting is very, very often not required. Planting trees is nothing different to most rewilding projects, in fact the vast majority do plant trees, it's the ones that don't & actually address the real issue (deer) that are the most inspiring & successful. It's not like you've started with a wasteland, and planting those trees could do more damage than good & be a waste of resources that could be better used to reduce deer numbers. For example, field maple isn't native to Scotland & yet you seem to be planning on planting it? I guarantee the other species that are native to the area would be regenerating or even are regenerating, they just need the browsing pressure reduced. They'll also be regenerating in a much, much more natural way than you could ever replicate through planting, e.g. if you collected all your seed from trees in your garden, the genetic make-up of your planted trees is very, very limited. Naturally regenerated alder, birch, elm & ash could have blown in from elsewhere, acorns brought in from multiple trees by corvids, berries dispersed from far afield by birds... It's all there, you just need to get a handle on the deer. Doing that would set you apart from the vast majority of the rest of Scotland's landscape. Rant over. Apologies.

I love when he said he encourages someone with a small garden or large piece of land to let it be wild.

I think that the trees need you to buy a rifle !

Superb film - beautifully made, and such inspiring, yet gentle commentary - loved it.

Please plant trees for earth

The cause of climate change is not the 0.04% carbon dioxide that is in our atmosphere, let alone the mere 3-5% proportion of this ESSENTIAL gas which is man-made, the overwhelming majority of it (95-97%) occurs naturally, but the increased energy output of the Sun ever since the beginning of the latest Gleissberg cycle, around 1958. Take a look at the records of sunspot activity between 22-26 December 1957; the US was by then already aware of the recurrent ca.12,000 year solar cycle (read nova, and ALL that comes with that), and wanted to verify that the tektite glass beads that came from the Sun and were deposited on Earth last time around (as has been found in sedimentary layers at 12,000 year intervals) were indeed of nova origin. Do you realise WHY the “Apollo” 🤔 missions were sent with men to the moon (along with the formation of NASA) and why this actually occurred after the intense solar activity? - it was to confirm what had been found on Earth was also found on the moon. Guess what they found? Guess too, why the Chinese went to the far side of the moon recently - was it perhaps because they were a little camera shy? 😂 A perfect correlation between the monthly mean sunspot number and the mean seasonal temperature variation clearly demonstrates that solar activity is the principal driver of global warming/cooling, depending on solar activity levels. Well over one thousand scientific papers have been produced demonstrating the link between Earth’s climate (which produces no heat to speak of sufficient to drive its own climate) and the Sun - our SOLE meaningful means of warming the planet, but from CIA hotbed of spook disinformation, Columbia university, Wallace S Broecker wrote a short piece for Science magazine (- look up volume 189, page 460, Aug 08 1975) suggesting that carbon dioxide was the reason the climate is/was warming (- which has since been conclusively disproven by Professors Happer and van Wijngaarden, both at Princeton - see Dr Thomas P Sheahen’s ‘Methane - the irrelevant greenhouse gas’ video, and Professor Murray Salby, Atmospheric Carbon, London, June 18, 2016 lecture), all to keep people from ‘looking up’ for themselves. Nevertheless, rather than ‘looking up’, a global industry has been created around this foolish notion. An X-class flare exceeding the magnitude of the Carrington Event flare left the Sun last 12/13 March (2023); another left the South polar region of the Sun just on 23rd January 2024 - we were lucky (again) that the March 2023 flare left the far side of the Sun and not toward us, but as the current Gleissburg cycle comes to its culmination we can expect to be in the firing line sooner rather than later - a ‘when’, and not ‘if’ scenario - highly probable within the coming decade to 20 years, beyond which time - ALL bets will be ‘off’. NO AMOUNT of either solar nor wind power, nor environmental taxes will change this. All this, at a time when our planet’s magnetosphere is weakening greatly, European Space Agency’s SWARM programme meeting in Copenhagen 08-12 April 2024 to discuss this very (serious) issue. Look at the increasing number of X-class flares that have occurred in the last solar cycle; this one reaches its climax this mid August 2024, with but a maximum of two, increasingly active 11-year solar cycles remaining before ‘the big event’.

I sail through wilderness every day because that is where I live. What is wilderness...magic. I was once a big city dweller. Gradualism is a great danger. The example of the frog not jumping out of the gradually increasingly at boil dish is spot on. Slum dog millionaire is another stark example of humans actually at play in the most disheartening garbage mountain hell imaginable. Rewilding movement underway in our times is the best news and an inspiration.... a sort of Churchillian rallying call when in the most defeatist days of WW2 .....we will never surrender ....never giving up and fighting fighting fighting... on. This time it is the very planet we live on at threat. Thanks for the video.

As he rips up a toadstool and ruins it's life cycle next to an alien christmas tree....

Brilliant work. I salute you and your Squad of Supporters. The movement is growing. We have hope ! 👏🏼

The earth is going thru natural cyclical climate cycles. There is no human caused climate change.

All the best on your rewilding journey, hope you manage to keep on top of the deer to allow those lovely woods to flourish. If only we could have lynx and wolves back. Great to see another rewilding project in my home county!

Question, is the narrator of this vid a Vegan? Cos animal ag is the reason why 1/3 of the Earths(Ice free) Land Mass has been Deforested, for the 70 Billion animals bred for eating every year!. Without animal ag we could rewild 78% of agricultural land which would be enough of a Carbon Sink to sequester more CO2 than is currently emitted!. The vast areas of Scotland, Ireland, Wales & England that are wildlife deserts could easily be rewilded but only if people stop this unnatural use of animals as food!. ✊🏽🌎🌻

Wolves will keep the deer away. Pigs will do a better job of breaking up the surface of the land.

Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet

Scottland needs predators.

Downed trees and logs on the ground are very important. Fungal communities will thrive. This will create so much homes for insects and birds and everything. It will allow light to the floor and hopefully you can get natives in there. Don't be bummed when trees fall. When they are non-native, that is a bummer. When their energy and nutrients are exported, that is a bummer. But their downed bodies will begin a new life. If you harvest them, that's fine, but if left where they are, this will thrive. They will decay and host countless organism. They'll act like a sponge, retaining water. The ground fungal and root networks will tap into them and consume them over this coming century. Just leave them and plant natives throughout.

Do y’all need help this summer?

Wonderful to see changes. Maybe the Government should relabel land. Eg “Green Belts” , we should have more Rewilding Belts.

Wonderful to witness change. Maybe Government should stop labelling “Green Land” and have “ Rewilding Land” .

🙏

Loved the video, one unrelated question, what is the brand on that flannel jacket, i kinda need it in my life 😅

That's beautiful Miles! Love those baby happy trees, warm melodies and magical mushrooms. Quite the beast that was crunching up your tree trunks too. Hope to visit there someday...

It's great to see someone actually talking about tree plantations not being true forests. The brainwashing worldwide about the value of tree plantations as forests is pretty disheartening. I hope he can successfully grow some native species!

What a lovely film - brought a tear to my eye, that did. Miles, your mum & dad would be so proud of what you're trying to achieve. More power to you and Hannah on your journey onwards.

This is an inspirational film. Well done Miles. Let’s hope many people see it and take hope, inspiration and guidance from it.

Just found your channel. What amazing footage!

How about letting a nice lynx family move in, raise some kids (or kits?) and start eating the deer? 😉

I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal, my mother in law was from Carradale, I've been 3 times (love the place) but couldn't comprehend how I could find it beautiful because it wasn't, keep going you're doing God's work!

Beautiful Place, Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.

Credibility? we are our worst nightmare

" We can't possibly do better than nature " Such a breath of fresh air, fantastic ethos & project. Local collecting of seeds & planting is something we can all be getting involved in & making a part of our lives; whether we have space for trees/shrubs or there's a square metre down the road. It's precisely what I am wanting to inspire in my local community. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

I wonder how many people in more conventional properties but with a reasonable sized garden admire but fear an attempt at rewilding due to devaluing their property from a financial point of view.

Good to see and hear landowners not only being true stewards of the land, but encompassing the whole of nature - this will truly make a difference and provide a positive example for other people in similar situations!

Such an inspiring film has lead me to turn my back garden into a wild life garden with the view to build a small pond sometime in the spring.

Great to see what you are attempting. How are you planning to reduce the impact of deer on the natural regeneration of the woodland?

Floral, faunal and fungal diversity requires disperate habitats to be present in a landscape. As you suggest, even the humble brash has its place in supporting life that is observable to the naked eye - and much that is "hidden". Opening up plantation growth often results in spectacular changes within a short time frame. Also, was wondering how your "greenhouse" has stood up to the recent weather condtions - still in place I hope! Many regards.

Cutting trees under the pretext of promoting biodiversity and bird conservation is abhorrent, ridiculous and stupid.

Very nice, brushpiles is something everyone with a bit of land can do! We do the same.

Imagine spending in the hundreds of thousands for fencing and eco-quabbles when one could cash in on hunting tags, and use the money promoting hunting turism and plant more trees ...🤯

Nice one, Pops! Nice one, all!

I don’t agree with global warming or climate change but rewilding is a good idea

This is great!! So well made and so inspiring. I loved your message at the end, "getting the message out is overwhelmingly the most important thing we can do". Keep doing what you are doing! Perhaps we can do some kind of collaborative video?

I would say you are a tree hugger! And now we all understand what they were trying to protect, it's obvious they were right. Now get a few billion tree huggers together and i think we may have a chance. Thanks for your message.

What storms you have had to contend with this year. I have been so impressed by the devotion your teams of volunteers are putting into the project.
