So distinctive isn't it. Also hilarious if you put a funky beat over the top - Annabel

@wildhaweswater5622 maybe that's your follow up video!!?!! Please PLEASE!!

Hiya, this was produced as a vision of where we hope to get to by 2050, so it's not possible to use real video as it's not happened yet. We are capturing the changes as we go along using drones and other methods - Annabel

Wishing you much success in your project. I'm in the high desert of Arizona and am using some of Geoff Lawton's techniques to green the desert.

Thank you v much. We agree :) - Annabel

You're right that trees should be much more prevalent in the landscape. In the uplands the trees should be more sparse, low-growing, old trees, than the denser, mature woodlands in the lower landscapes. The uplands would also be much wetter with fully functioning bog eco-systems. This is shown in more detail in our vision here: bit.ly/HWRVision - Annabel

Thanks very much for your lovely comment. Really pleased to hear you enjoyed reading Wild Fell. I have passed your kind words onto Lee and the team - Annabel

Thanks very much Sue. - Annabel

Hiya, thanks for the question. It depends on the project. Some have been about removing large amounts of plastic from river systems to benefit the wildlife. Some have been about removing artificial features such as weirs or embankments, and putting natural bends back into straightened courses - these have multiple benefits for wildlife, reducing flood risk and improving drinking water.

Thank you.

That's the vision for Haweswater and other parts of Cumbria. Find out more here: bit.ly/HWRVision - Annabel

Hi Dean, a lot of these measures are about making these habitats more resilient to climate change, so whilst individually they can't stop them, it will help buffer against it. They are all also measures that can be replicated elsewhere to help mitigate the impact. - Annabel

@@wildhaweswater5622 personally having dedicated a lot is time to researching all of this I think we’re gonna need Solar geoengineering if we’re to stand and Fgking chance And yes I do mean the big bad stratospheric aerosol injection. That’s just me, not a popular opinion for a nature lover I know.

Keep drinking the climate change cool aid!​@deanfowles3707

Hi Danielle, the work at Haweswater is a partnership between the landowner United Utilities and the land manager the RSPB. Best wishes, Annabel

Hiya, thanks for your feedback. We agree about sheep over-grazing, which is why we've reduced our flock and they only graze the enclosed land near the farm. We've also fenced out massive areas from sheep (and deer) to allow natural regeneration to take place which is happening. But we have also planted over 200,000 trees to give the landscape a helping hand too. And likewise, Beavers are in the plans....check out our vision video: bit.ly/HWRVision - Annabel

Thanks Annie :) - Annabel

A brilliant religion to choose :) - Annabel

@@wildhaweswater5622 It's so good for the land, the wild and farmers. There's really no downside!

Very true - it's part of the plan - Annabel

And how would you prevent the Pine Martens from affecting the local red squirrel population?

@@Brian-om2hh pine martins are known to only kill greys

Absolutely! That's a big part of our work here. - Annabel

Thanks very much Anthony. I hope you enjoy many happy years hiking in retirement - Annabel

@@wildhaweswater5622 Sadly that is no longer possible due to age, but I have my memories of past hikes and the whole of KZbin to refresh the parts I have forgotten.

@@user-TonyUK Ah, great to have those memories and tech then. :)

With artificial structures like weirs and embankments, they affect the rivers ability to function naturally, so their removal helps to put the natural course and features back into the channel, improving it for wildlife (for example fish passage). - Annabel

It is indeed :) - Annabel

They would indeed. Hopefully more of them to come in future. - Annabel

I would think so. In places like this, not a whole lot needs to be done with heavy machinery. It does more harm than good, it would seem.

There are hardly any trees for them to create dams, or use for food, so not suitable for beavers currently. Once a volume of trees have been planted and have matured, then beavers would be more likely to be a success.

It can indeed. When we re-wiggled Swindale Beck, salmon returned to spawn for the first time in over 100 years. - Annabel

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it _Annabel

Thanks Mike, really glad you like it. The individual organisations have more on their individual projects. You can find out more about our work in Swindale here: bit.ly/UKRiverPrizeWinner22 - Annabel

But doing that is communismizms or summin , and we can’t do that because Alan sugar said we shouldn’t do it.

You're absolutely right - deer management is also an important part of the work to restore the woodland here along with deer fencing to allow regeneration. _ Annabel
