Knepp Wilding

Rewilding doesn’t cause wildfires. In fact, it’s one of the best tools we have for creating fire-resilient landscapes. We saw this over the summer during the worst of the wildfires, and now a new report from Rewilding Britain sets out the evidence.

It's not just about climate chaos. It's also about landscape chaos. The damage we do to the land's hydrology is layered on top of the damage we do to the atmosphere. Our mismanagement of land commits us to a cycle of flood and drought. We can change this, as explained here. Please read. Thanks.

The government consultation has not *yet* been published - I'll post about it here in much more detail when it has! In the meantime, here's my comment to the Guardian:

Big day today for ending centuries of secrecy about who owns our land! A new government consultation will propose revealing who owns the vast majority of England and Wales. To get this over the line, I’ll need your help to send in supportive evidence! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

@wildcard.land

We cannot drill our way to a wilder future! This UK made a commitment to nature on land & sea. This about more than beaver reintroductions. Healthy seas, thriving ecosystems & a liveable climate are all part of the same fight. We need to restore nature, not fuel its destruction. #jackdaw

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Keep sharing this link - even after you write to your own MP to ask them to attend the "join the EU" debate... just keep sharing to family and friends. This is a huge campaigning drive just starting up...
