Took some time out from work to take a few photos in our rewilded garden. Its been a great year with so many wild flowers, birds and hedgehogs, butterflies and insects and now the colours of Autumn have matured making our garden sing......
Our re-wilded back garden. The mature trees are flowering well this year, the Horse Chestnut, Rowan, Field maple and Walnut as well as the Cooker and Eater full of blossom. The wild woodland meadow has been a great succsess with the Borage just visible and our ferns are doing very well. Lots of new bird species on the feeders and lots of squirrels and many Bees using the insect hotel and cracked soil area.......

The Greenway is a cycle and footpath built atop the Northern Outfall Sewer, built in the 1860s to improve sanitation in central London by discharging the sewage far downstream of London.
Now, the sewage is treated in the Beckton Sewage Works in east London and the grass beside the cycle and footpath has been "rewilded" by the London Borough of Newham and has many pretty wild flowers growing atop it.
In the hills of South Djurs, Mols (Jutland, Denmark) an rewilding project has set these horses free. They have to survive on the premise of nature.
This has risen a great deal of debat on animal rights whether these animals suffer; starvation or to die of thirst.
If you can read Danish, this article, called "Horse war", is written concerning the feelings involved to this project may be intersting; www.altinget.dk/kultur/artikel/hestekrigen

We lost about half the field maples I planted in the storms in late winter, and I do mean "lost", their wee protectors got blown off and I couldn't find the saplings sticking out the ground - sticks in a field of sticks! So today I topped up with 5 hornbeams!
I want a couple of real wet conditions specialists next, willow or something perhaps, to soak up some manky wet ground. Them some hazel and rowan to form a lower hight periphery before moving on to some gorse and juniper to dot around the field. We may use some more hazel and rowan along with the shrubby stuff further up the field too once work is complete on site and I will then sow the remaining grassland with meadow flowers.
We may only have a couple of acres to rewild, but it rewilded it will be. Kinda.

Every trip by car and especially every flight we make by plane adds to the total amount of CO2 produced each year. Unless you do not believe in global climate change this is not a good thing. I am off to the Arctic with a friend later in the Spring and to offset my carbon footprint we have planted 12 new young trees in our garden. For every tonne of CO2 produced approximately 30 trees need planting, by using a CO2 calculator for the whole trip I will add 0.4 tonnes of CO2. Not only does this offset CO2 it adds more trees to our rewilded garden that benefits the biodiversity of this area.

Storrington CC set up a stand at the Stork Event in Storrington. This was the ceremony when Justine Vansynghel (on the right) of the European Stork Villages Network was about to hand over certificates to welcome Storrington and Knepp Estate to the network. Knepp is represented here by co-owner Isabella Tree who is speaking. Mark Cramer Chair of Storrington Parish Council is just behind what I believe is the other ESVN representative.
Knepp have successfully reintroduced wild storks to their rewilded estate.
Apparently the cameraman and sound engineer were filming for Countryfile, so I might be on TV soon!
Because of Covid we hadn't done any hiking in two years, so before starting the Washington Pacific Crest Trail we wanted to find a shortish multiday hike to do as a tune up. Unfortunately (also because of Covid, supposedly) the National Park Service farmed out the backcountry permit system in Olympic National Park to a for-profit company, and to make a long story short, it sucks. We couldn't get permits for our first choice hikes and the whole system is miserable to navigate, though it of course costs more, is less convenient, and comes with none of the specialized knowledge of rangers that it had when Olympic National Park ran it. I'm really not just ranting here, because the mismanagement of public lands for private profit is actually relevant to the photo.
This is the Elwha River, which before 1910 had one of the most spectacular salmon runs in the world. The river supported runs of ten anadromous trout, char and salmon species, the most famous of which was the run of 100lb Chinook salmon. Then, a more-or-less rogue operator, often acting outside the law (the dam, for instance, had no fish ladder), built a hydroelectric dam on the river. It blocked the passage of the migrating fish, silted up the river, warmed its water--making its remaining miles unsuitable for spawning--and destroyed one of the most miraculous natural bounties in the world. Against all of this, it generated enough electricity to power about one-third of the electricity needed for one paper mill.
But there is a happy ending. After decades of struggle, Native American and environmental groups fought successfully for the removal of the dam (actually, two dams), and the Elwha Basin restoration began about a decade ago, with salmon miraculously arriving to spawn the year after the dam removal. With the river rewilded, the access road to the upper river has washed out, adding several miles of walking to reach the upper Elwha trailhead. When we finally got a hold of a Park Service ranger to ask for advice on a hike, he told us that those additional miles of new wilderness are enough to discourage crowds, that we would be able to get a permit for it, and that he could help us plan our trip. It was all that he said it would be, a jewel of a hike, and it was interesting and satisfying to see the results of the restoration. Believe it or not, in a summer when almost all back-country reservations were booked up, we saw no one on the upper river except a backcountry trail crew and a pair of National Park mule drivers who were carrying their supplies. Of course, we still had to book our permits through the lousy reservation company and pay them our reservation fee.

I've often wandered past this spot without paying much attention to the ruined building that lies in a narrow, tree-lined dale.
I love the way it is being slowly rewilded by ferns and nettles, and that someone has taken the time to saw off a sapling that has sprung up on the tumbledown wall, but left others to take root on their precarious perch.
The process of rewilding has restored life and beauty as well as biodiversity to our small patch of earth, but after an explosion at a nearby chemical plant, life has seemed more fragile than ever. After a week and a half spent inside, still not wholly able to avoid the toxic gas, I had to put on the N100 respirator mask and venture outside to capture the light of autumn on the blooming asters, for which we've been waiting so long. The seasons fulfill their promise in ther time, giving us hope of something that lies beyond.

Im having a bit of a scots pine period, really like how the infrared works with the foliage, this is from Dunwich Forest which is currently being rewilded to a broad leaf forest. It's much better for the wildlife, but there is something eerily appealing about the dark sterile canopy of a confier wood.

The Severn Valley Railway goes from Kidderminster in Worcestershire to Bridgnorth in Shropshire, sixteen miles along the Rover Severn. I would highly recommend this journey on an old steam train to anyone, the scenery is second to none in my books. A few hundred metres behind these trees is The West Midlands safari Park, so when I visit these nature reserves I often here Lion's roaring which is rather strange when your walking in the woods! This farm is in the process of being rewilded and will slowly revert back to its ancient past as rare Worcestershire Heathland. For years now people came from all over the country to see this farm literally covered from corner to corner in poppies
and watch the steam trains to by. This is one of the best vantage points a you can see.

Whitewebbs Golf Club
Enfield, London

Closed: 2021
Rewilded to parkland: 2022
Sold out to redevelopment: 2025
Council-owned municipal golf course was returned to public use and rewilded to parkland. In 2025, Enfield Council approved a scheme to lease over 50% of the parkland to Tottenham Hotspur for them to develop a training facility, a decision that will see the removal of 207 trees.
Enfield Council agreed a lease of 25 years for just £2m. A stitch-up between a rotten borough and an offshore-owned football club.

Rescued, injured, abandoned, abused animals are brought to the centre for rehabilitation purposes. If they cannot be rewilded, they are given new homes in stunning massive enclosures kitted out to be precisely like their natural habitat. Some of these babies have lost legs, or wings, through flying into power cables or being run over by motor vehicles. Such beautiful majestic creatures, so much love for the work that is being done. If a bird of prey is successfully rehabilitates it is rewilded into a protected conservancy where its progress and safety can be monitored.
A rare sighting of a Capybara in rinidad. This rodent, the largest in the world, is thought to have been historically native to the country but was extirpated at some point in the past. Illegal imports have now seemed to have rewilded the species locally.
