Before you add any apex predators take a good long look at the wolf issue in Yellowstone National Part in the US. The wolves do not stay in the park and have started preying on sheep and cattle on private land. It has made a huge war between the naturalists, the government and the Ranching industry. I am a firm believer that mankind is the gardener of the earth and letting it go totally natural is no where as efficient as if mankind did a proper job of stewardship. Then there is a thousand different ideas of proper stewardship, so good luck.

Where do you find records of native species for your area?

I have scot pines on a hill on the back of my property I understand the European immigrant farmers brought them in 100 years ago beautiful tree

What is a sand June?

A benefit if you prepare soil deep. Mulch out close grass competition, you can other gardens pockets between. Even a few fast shade trees that get cut out later for using cuttings for other forest replants.

Love this California, USA

Man destroys nature every time man tries to save it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I fully support the idea of reforesting the British isles with native trees like aspen. However, it will take the continued efforts and support from farmers and landowners to plant and guard the saplings, then quarantine the suckers as they spread across the land, and to not harvest the trees as they reach maturity. The grazers and browsers are not the only species to blame after all. Whether it's firewood, or construction lumber, or even to make more room for other things; humans have a tendency to exploit and destroy natural resources for financial gains. Hence why we have nature reserves. It will take massive land buy-offs and fencing to truly establish a viable forest

They look really cool!

It would be brilliant if at least lynx were brought back to the UK

See how much light gets to the floor in Scot’s pine forest. In non native, man made woods a combination of conifer trees that keep their branches tight to the bottom of their trunks almost and planting of close, seried ranks, means that in man made forests the floor is in darkness and its just as much of a desert

Carbon, that's the reason

I hope there is some genetic diversity among those trees in the UK. If I am not mistaken, sequoia used to be native in Britain before, but they died out.

Wolves and bears are a thread to the free roaming sheep and therefore get in conflict with the sheepowners. The lynx is a better option as it remains in the woodlands under cover hoping they can catch enough deer there to stay alive.

Norfolk island pine in my favorite pine. It grows up to be an absolute giant. It is very similar in structural appearance to this one. 🌲🌲

🤘🤘

I was in those areas in scotland. Breathtaking beautiful.

Wasn't it the English🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 that cut the woods in both Ireland🇮🇪 and Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so they could spare their own woods from being used in building their 16 and 17th century Navy's 🤔 ?!

We changed the desert from ejypt across Asia and back across Africa- willy 0

Omg do you hear this hears why Were literally targeting them one at a time using a weather control device known as harp and many man made river lake and reforestation projects we changed so much desert there mostly changing on there own thats harp and all the other ones healing deserts grow until there's no liveable land were doing that look we hardly even lie the art of lying is letting you do it but this time we didn't even keep it a secret yall just lying because the man doing it me wasn't white enough some of the guys at harp are blonde so your wrong but not only are you wrong your full of shit people are doing that just not Scottish- willy 00

labour is going to mono-block the country side, no space for beavers only immigrants!

Design an easy to install biodegradable fencing system and enclose areas of open land. Pockets of forest will regenerate naturally.

I'm convinced that a lot of these extinct species are out there somewhere in Africa still

I love Scotland and go camping and climbing monroes every year. But whenever I'm there I do feel a bit bereft, as there's almost nothing there. Maybe some red deer on a barren moor, if you're very lucky a golden eagle, and if you're very very lucky a capercaillie. But there should be moose, bison, lynx, wolves, boar and bears. I dream of the day when you can walk through a forested Highlands, rich with wildlife. But I'm not holding my breath.

it would be cool if we could somehow get more people interested into the ecology fields. theres lots of talk about funding but not much about how much more manpower is needed

we havent been to scotland yet but i would love to visit a scotland where the mountains are not bare rock but fuzzy and full of new young trees

Where I live, there is a movement to remove any plant that is not native to the area, partly due to the animals who depend on the native species. I wonder how these trees will affect the areas they are planted in now.

it would be really crazy if they did it on purpose to shed light on the hundreds of years of english hypocrisy. youve all been silent in the hundreds of years of native forest destruction but finally cry when a non native tree planted for aesthetics is cut down. the fire of revolution starts with a spark and it looks like there might be a martyr or two here. will be interesting to see what they say about their actions when trial resumes in january

Should never have been reintroduced. Look at the mess they make. Ridiculous move by the conservation idiots

5:39 they make apps with offline maps. even google has offline maps, where you can even download small specific parts of a map. you may not have live GPS but having a map to get your bearings is essential when youre anywhere youre unfamiliar. forest or city

i love all of the people trying to say the miyawaki method wont work in the long term even though the miyawaki method is literally just copying whats seen in old natural japanese growth. meaning its copying a model that works. theyve planted miyawaki style plots here in los angeles, meaning the planting is based on local natural growth, and yes, the plots have thrived with both plant and animal life, and the trees have been shown to grow much faster than traditional methods. the miyawaki method just means copying what nature has proven to show works. maybe learn what the miyawaki method is before you try to shame it based on inaccurate views of plants

Thanks, Leave Curious for your contribution re: Shifting Baseline. Until we witness some truly thriving landscape we can hardly grasp what's possible. The book to read about better continental practices is Rebirding, by Benedict MacDonald [pelagic publishing: £10.99] When a sheared fleece fetched only 60p this year it emphasised the decline of Industrialised Sheep, following centuries of Clearance-related land abuse. Commenters mightn't know that wild predators feed themselves by picking off the weakest around herds of grazers, effectively improving the health of their target species. Whereas those humans magnetised by the largest, and strongest, a.k.a. trophy hunting, keep leaving herds with a DNA pool for steadily smaller offspring and less disease resistance.

A massive menses

How does that affect the acidity level of the dune ?

This is changing the sand into a a more acidic pH. Plants don’t grow in pine needle debris. Good luck with that.

GOOD NEWS. GOD BLESS ❤

I still know of a few spots here and there didn’t realise thay were so rare I hope that live on for another 200 million years 🎉

This is absolutely beautiful. Oh my god.

God bless these tenants of life that lovingly tend to life.

Personally, I hate the necessity of culling. I understand it, but the reintroduction of natural predators is so much more awesome. Lynx are pretty small though. You would see much better results, and faster, with wolves. Look at what happened to the natural biodiversity after wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone. Even in small numbers! Incredible.

This is amazing! The world is healing in some regards. Speaking of forests, did you know that in Greece where I live they burn the forests down so they can put wind turbines at the peaks of mountains and other places..? And then they act like it was an accident or that it’s the effect of climate change as if trees spontaneously combust because of climate change. It’s a very corrupt place here. And if you think I am being too much I have experienced something similar first hand. I went to a reforestation initiative many years back when I was younger, near where I live and they burned they baby trees that we so lovingly planted the next day! All because they wanted to build houses in that area of the mountain. Can you imagine my pain and frustration. There’s many crimes like that going unpunished here because of the rampant corruption. After that I decided I am not planting trees ever again not until this sickening situation changes. What’s the point of planting them if they are going to burn them the next day..?

Is that Camber?

Que interesante has un vídeo de esto!

That damn climate change has deserts turning green boooo I should have bought the electric car boo who ! 😭

I wonder how much Hazel Nuts there were? I think that if the use a native nut to help guide how their forests, they will find their forest are healthier. Humans are "Plant Trees" species. We should learn to lean into that strength.

"200 million years old" 😆🤣 Really? I suppose the tree's great grandfather 1 million times ancestored told you that ey?

Won't last to long with labour in government

Looks a bit like the Hoh on the Olympic Peninsula.
