Great to see you guys doing this, there is so much life out there thats for sure. I think the most important thing is water. provide the water the rest will follow along. keep up the good work. sub added.

Perhaps you could put the word out to ask people to stop spraying glyphosate/roundup weedkiller everywhere please? Its all over the countryside now as well as all the urban areas. Donegal is shocking. Tyrone where I live the same. Its in the water and food, everythings food. Please pass it on thanks. Nice film btw😊
@davebloggs18 күн бұрын
spot on. let the clover grow in the grass it takes no mowing and the bees love it, it also looks nice, we have to get away from this need for a perfect green lawn that is so out of date now thats for sure.

A fantastic example of how people like Gilly and Brian with their vision of increasing biodiversity can both achieve amazing improvements in a relatively short timescale, and inspire others to follow their example, through their workshops and website. Good luck with persuading the anally retentive gardeners everywhere not to mow their lawns - in the USA after all it is a crime in some areas not to do just that! In UK we face the same sort of challenges plus the horrendous legacy of private land ownership and the poisonous influence of the game "industry".

Firstly- thanks for your efforts. I have 13 acres, in three plots. Five of pretty barren, destroyed hill/heather type land, 1.5 cares of regular agricultural land, that without regular 'farming' will become nothing but rushes, and a strip about 25 metres by 300, going from normal farmland, into a marshy area. I would love a little cabin type dwelling on my 1.5 acres bit, with fruit and vegetables, but a food-forest type set-up would suffice. I have this land, with the specific idea of re-wilding. It's in County Derry, and I would really love any help (with ideas, or Heaven-forbid, work) available. Someone local who knows anything would be greatly appreciated, if they could get in touch. I am lucky in that all three areas have a stream running as their borders, so water is available, and I am certainly hoping to build ponds. Help? NB If there are any companies who help with such work, I am capable of paying out a little. I won't have the money to pay a landscaping company to come do it all. (I'm not rich.)

@TheRewildlifeАй бұрын
Thank you! It’s all down to the right substrate at the bottom of your pond, and the right plant life in there. I hope to get pond videos created soon, but I get much of my information from this great channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/onzVm4Csa7mAorcsi=SYKqVIW-1DwyuBkd

I do actually understand a lot of this but I feel it leads people astray not knowing the full story. I grow food and I also rewild but I try to do it in a responsible way. If everyone did what this couple are doing we’d be back to 3000bc and there would be no economy. With most of our population living in cities we need economic food production and wetting good land is not how to do it. There is plenty of poor land where this can be done and I do feel that rewilding if it is ever to catch on will have to be done in a responsible manner. Starting with hedgerows, allowing grass to grow along the sides of roads where it’s safe to do so, edges of woodlands and managed tree planting. Everything works better in our scenario if trees are planted in groups to provide canopy, shelter, nutrition for the ground and the flora and fauna that than exist there. Blanket woodland, especially monoculture is not good and if we are to survive as a nation we have to feed and employ our people. I have studied lots of these channels and the one thing everyone on them has in common is they make their living for the most part teaching courses, doing workshops and KZbin advertising. That as a lifestyle for the vast majority is unsustainable.

I rewilded the backgarden ( through sheer laziness 😁) on the up side there are now loads of wild bees hanging around, a fox den, sparrow family, robins, and a little wren, some field mice, I just cleared a space in the middle to sit. The garden is much more interesting now.

@ConnemaraShooterАй бұрын
I have a spot similar to what you have done by my river, one of the cleanest in the country. I'm a farmer in Connemara,in the acres scheme. I had two parcels of land in the scheme, one was bog land, where nothing ever grew much. The other is like yours. Acres scored the bog land 90% and what I'd call an ecological fauna and wildlife oasis only 60%. Most farmers are really trying to help the environment, but find the bureaucracy and science has become a complete mess when implemented.
@TheRewildlifeАй бұрын
Wow well done! The bureaucracy issue is certainly a common one in Ireland. Hopefully it will improve over time. Thankfully nature can do a lot of the work itself too.

That was Great thanks. We need a lot more of this in Ireland. I have a half acre in Roscommon and have helped nature to transform it over the past fifteen years. It is incredible what can be achieved if you just give nature a chance. I have built two ponds and it's phenomonal how much biodiversity they have attracted. Earlier this summer I saw a Hummingbird Hawk Moth.As you say here, lawns need to be a thing of the past.

@jayuppercase339823 күн бұрын
Sheep and trees and co-exist no problem and with no negative impact on grass growth, but you need to grow the trees in a separate nursery section and then only plant them out in their final location on the farm once they are tall enough, 100mm drainage pipe makes a good cheap tree guard, and you need a good 5 foot split post. Oaks/crab apple/plums/holly/white thorn on the good land and alder on the wet spots
