I'm jealous. I live in Canada, and the only thing keeping me from relocating to the UK is the lack of forests. If I had the money, I would have loved to done precisely what this man has done.
Im from the uk and we have barley any forests, Were loosing trees at a crazy rate just so developers can make a quick buck. No one seems to be bothered either, i can only see it getting worse with everyone so money driven these days. Enjoy canada the uks a depressing place
The UK isn't a 'depressing place.' It has wonderful landscapes and many lovely people, but sadly they are not always on RUclips, because people like samharrison and his lazy spelling would rather you believe there's nothing here and knock their wonderful country than see all the good in it. What we suffer from is low esteem (see above again) brought on by years of being told we are useless though it is true that we are generally politically inept. We vote in politicians who care more about other countries than ours. But then so do many other places. Follow your heart. If you want to be here, be here.
Less trees, more open area for sun the generate the floor. More rotting wood. Helps all the bugs, beetles and bird life. All these new tree planting projects are mostly doing in wrong. Planted too close together. No diversity. No flooded water for wildlife.
In ancient forest you have multi generations of trees. But secondary forests like you see with rewilding efforts where they plant a bunch of trees over barren lands will produce a forest where all the trees are the same age and almost no sunlight will reach the ground. So not a lot of biodiversity. Cause there will be no light for the bushes and flowers under the tree canopy. It's essential to thin out the trees a bit and plant other saplings in the opened up areas to get that multigenerational forest.
Wow, which great project! Congratulations for that honorable work
Well done David, we need more people like you.

Where can i find a small group of people to buy land for rewilding together?
