Great stuff. But why does the first sentence refer to the UK, when Forestry England is only responsible for England? It seems doubtful that Forestry and Land Scotland would begin a similar video talking about the UK - they would talk about the area for which they are responsible, Scotland.
this sounds like a really exciting project but it would be helpful as a person living in one of those forests to have been advised in advance and been able to discuss possible impacts on our habitation. communication with forest dwellers has been non existent so far.
Healthy forests, healthy flora, healthy fauna gives our planet a healthy Biodivesity and together with sunlight creates gases which travel to the upper atmosphere which in turn produces oxygen which sustains life on Earth. Am i right or am i wrong??
Need more than squirrel and deer control too. All deer will do it stop saplings getting established. We need big herbivores to manage already established woodlands. Seems to me as though they are jumping on a bandwagon with no actual direction or goals. Having small scale forestry (people working with hand tools rather than big machines) in these areas will probably do more good than leaving it to its own devices without the proper herbivores to manage the habitat.
@@ForestryEngland yes I know you do but my point is you will need larger herbivores than deer roaming these “wild woods” for them to be beneficial to wildlife. As I mentioned you either need large herbivores managing the area or small scale forestry with hand tools and traditional techniques rather than machinery. We have woodlands that don’t have any management by people or herbivores and they aren’t very biodiverse. The majority of England’s species don’t live in closed canopy woodlands, only a small percentage of our birds do well in them habitats and almost all our butterfly species need open areas with light, flowers and their caterpillars food plant. So are these areas going to have large herbivores or are they just going to be left? If so then I think you need to rethink this whole idea.
@@spencersanderson1894do you think FE dont have ecologists and arent aware of the concept of a complete ecosystem? There's cattle in this video and the website says they'll be using grazers
But there are no large herbivores to manage the areas and make them wild. Without them and without management from humans then these areas will actually become less biodiverse. It seems to me without reintroducing large herbivores then small scale management with people using hand tools and old forestry techniques rather than big machines would be more beneficial to these areas.
I was yesterday on Wendover Woods , and was amazing 👏 thanks guys for your efforts
Well done guys. Great work. Good to see Kevin too.
This is really important for our Food Security also, Excellent video!
Would have been good to see exactly where these 4 new areas are
I hoped you'd indicate locations - where are these areas?

Very interesting, have the wild areas been announced yet?

Yes, you can read about them here: www.forestryengland.uk/creating-wilder-forests
Kielder - where else? Ennerdale has been in a rewilding process for several years….
Don’t keep us in suspense
most people ( not me as my generation did acres and hectares at school,) have no idea what a hectare is
with no deer or squirrel control i imagine the trees will do about as well as all the forestry in rest of country.

We manage grey squirrels and deer populations where necessary, to look after the nation’s forests sustainably. Wild areas are included in this.

There have been Dexter Cattle in Ennerdale for Years
