I've done nada with the field all year, bar cutting a path through the middle twice. It's fully overgrown, with patches of Thistle, Dock, Nettle and Brambles weaving their way through the rest. The top half has been overtaken by layers of fern, to the exclusion everything else. There's a patch of nettles at the very top under the trees.
The Brother-out-law is offering to graze a pair of ponies up here, but there's actually feck all grass! I might need a goat instead!

Begeistert mich: Wiederherstellung intakter #Ökosysteme durch #Renaturierung bzw #rewilding durch Ansiedlung bzw #Auswilderung großer #Pflanzenfresser (hier #Przewalski_Pferde in #Kasachstan) trägt bei relativ geringen Kosten dazu bei, die Steppe und damit die Menschheit vor #Feuer zu schützen. Außerdem wird durch die #Wiederherstellung des #Kohlenstoffkreislauf eine erhebliche Menge Kohlendioxid in den Steppenboden versenkt ( #Kohlenstoffsenke )

"The prototyped solar-powered, lightweight, rovers dig small, angled holes in the earth’s crust where nutrients, plant litter, seeds, and water can collect, providing a cycle for further germination and growth of seedlings. This natural process, known as bioturbation, was historically carried out by millions of native Australian marsupials."

Luchtbeelden van het Holnicote-landgoed in Somerset (VK) tonen het. Gedurende vijf hittegolven deze zomer bleef het herwilderde land groen. De velden eromheen werden bruin en barsten. Zelfde weer, ander resultaat.

Manor Fields Park clean up after the fire.
Yesterday I went to help at the clean-up at Manor Fields Park following the fire on August 13th. It’s one of my favourite local spots for a walk, looking out for herons, other birds and waterfowl, butterflies, insects and wildflowers. So it was depressing to see nearly half the park completely scorched black, trees burnt dead, and just a few brave, resilient plants left standing. But it was uplifting to join with about one hundred volunteers, organised by Green Estate, to help start to put things right. On the ground were incinerated blackberries and calcified snail shells, sometimes indistinguishable from white plastic bottle tops. Litter that was previously covered in vegetation was now easy to find, including tyres, car parts, bottles and cans, crisp packets, and unidentifiable miscellaneous bits. So we set forth with litter pickers, and after just an hour, the lorry was jammed full of rubbish. Many thanks to everyone who turned out to help and to the organisers from Green Estate.
So what caused the fire? Apparently, there is no evidence that it was arson, although not far away, I am aware of many deliberate attempts to burn Skye Edge, endangering nearby houses and allotments, and of course, our fantastic fire service. So maybe the fire was caused by a discarded bottle, the sun’s rays being magnified to create enough heat to ignite the grass. But what is certain is that our extremely hot, dry summer made the conditions ideal for the fire to spread quickly, posing a very difficult challenge for the fire service. Throughout the world, wildfires are happening more frequently as the planet continues to heat up as a direct result of our carbon emissions.
As I write, the rain is hammering on my bay window. When it rained for the first time in many weeks, I was very happy- it reminded me of my time in Uganda, when our water tank ran dry in the drought. When it eventually rained, we put every container outside to collect as much water as we possibly could! Maybe this is the end of our hot summer, but perhaps the hot conditions will return. Next year is already forecast to be an even hotter summer, due to the record-breaking El Niño. So we need to be prepared for these extreme conditions.
Graham is retrieving litter from the scorched earth.To stop fires, we need to report people behaving in a way that might start one. Whether it’s fireworks, barbeques, carelessly discarding a cigarette, or simply playing with matches, this behaviour in hot, dry conditions puts lives at risk and must be stopped. You can ring Firestoppers anonymously on 0800 1695558. Add this number to your contacts so you have it when you need it.
Your local park or green space may have a Friends of group. Get in touch with them and help with litter picks and improving the park. Friends of Manor Fields Park is here. Picking up one glass bottle may prevent the disaster Manor Fields just suffered.
I’ve heard some blame rewilding for the fires, but aerial photographs show that areas that have been rewilded, letting streams take their natural course, have remained green throughout the drought, whereas fields of short grass, such as at Arbourthorne Park, have caught fire. Read more about this here.
The fire service has done a magnificent job this summer, but they were not able to stop houses from being ruined at Foxhill. As the planet heats up, the fire service needs more personnel and better resources. They can’t be everywhere at once, and at some points this summer, fires were blazing all over the city. So the Government must fund them properly, put a stop to any idea of more drilling for more oil and gas, and tackle the climate emergency by putting the country on a war footing to reduce our carbon emissions.

@Christownsendoutdoors two weeks ago ReformUK were blaming Rewilding for the fires around that nuclear plant.
They purposely choose what is the opposite of 'the right thing to do' and champion it, they are Anti-Human

One needs good news when looking at the news - and this certainly is:
-
This article about an estate in Britain remaining green amid the drought has some striking images.
It came as a surprise to me to learn that the UK lost 90% its wetlands over the last century.
But the situation is similar in other places—lost to farmland that crept up closer and closer to rivers, including near us.
I came across Rewilding Europe while doing work for a Carpathian ecotourism operator. That’s how I’ve learned they’ve been doing research and work downstream on the Odra river near the German border Szczecin/Swinoujscie since 2020-2021 or so.
We’re much farther upstream but in an area once was lush with water and marshlands from Odra tributaries.
Without much time and physical ability to garden this year, we accidentally rewilded a large portion of our garden, including one zone I call “the marshlands”—where the previous owners dumped trash and bits of asbestos-laced roof tile.
This, coupled with our reluctance to cut trees meant our garden was cool and pleasant most summer long, even in 40C heat. We joked that it’s unfair some people work hard to achieve this level of growth, while we did nothing except let nature run its course. If it wants to be marsh-like, so be it. It really paid off, and a few butterflies and lizards now live in it too.
Though at some point all that trash trapped underneath it will have to go, but it’s incredible how fast nature will come back and take care of itself if you let it.

This is really cool - I adore little streams like this, they're often idyllic to look at, the trickling of water is soothing and if opportunity arises, it's fun messing around in the water or exploring the wetlands they create.
It's great to see there are genuine benefits to the environment, which feels like a no-brainer, really.
More streams please!

”When our rewilding program started, many big corporations offered us huge amounts of money if we certified carbon credits. We consulted with communities. But our answer was that we don’t sell nature.”

"The area of the National Trust’s Holnicote estate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown"
-
A stream winds through fields on the Holnicote estate, #Somerset. The rewilding projects help “store water during drought… and slow water during extreme rainfall“.
“Nature is providing solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today,” said Ben Eardley, the project manager at the Holnicote estate.
“By reconnecting river systems with the surrounding area and creating natural sponges in the landscape, we’ve created a system that stores water during drought, keeping wetlands and the surrounding habitats healthy, and slows water during storms and periods of extreme rainfall, helping to protect villages from the risk of flooding downstream.”
