I’ll never understand the KZbin algorithm. I love your guys’ videos and am subscribed, but they never show up in my feed.

[@stephentbell]

Who doesn’t love the beavers!?

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

I soooo enjoyed the photography of the animals, up-close and such with nice long shots. Thanks! Very peaceful and relaxing vlog.

[@lynnwasylkevych4786]

It tickles my heart to see these most magnificent animals helping to bring back a more natural land for all to see and wonder over. The Best of everything.

[@debbiestott3651]

How wonderful to see animals being treat with dignity. I am not a vegetarian but hate to see how some animals are treat. Loving the video, those cattle are majestic and the pony's are looking great. Happy Mapperton residents. Yeah, if I was an animal, I would definitely want to be with you guys. X

[@suepalin9202]

I really enjoyed this video and I hope that the re-wilding project will become a regular update of Around the Manor. And it was lovely to see the busy beavers beavering away!

[@michaelevans1193]

Is there any thoughts to adding a bee hive or two to the re-wilding project? It would seem to help the ecosystem and help another endangered species to make a comeback.

[@alexk7973]

interestingly, honey bee numbers have never been as high as they currently are. There are some older domestic species that aren‘t as numerous, but mostly it‘s the wild type of bees that are struggling. They will benefit massively from all the rewilding currently done on the property. There are some kind of „insect hotel“ type nesting boxes on the market for wild bee types. But actually most wild bees are ground nesting and won‘t benefit from nesting boxes at all. Those will benefit more from the open spots of earth left by the pigs!

[@kasie680]

But NOT the Italian honey bee, which is what 90% of bee keepers have 🤭

[@terrimessa3619]

Love what you are doing, bringing all the animals back is fabulous.

[@melissaphillips3088]

Can we say the white cattle are cute🥰 Wonderful vlog Luke and Julie👏🏻

[@jennifernash9216]

Love the white park cattle they are stunning

[@DeborahMaufer]

Respect and gratitude to you for undertaking this rewilding project - it is really needed! And thank you for showing us the animals up close and explaining what they do. 🙏💐😊

[@lindastorr1674]

I know how much work you are involved in,but thank you for the tour and explanation of how the animals are involved in the rewilding, so enjoyed.

[@erinhenze]

Just wanted to say I love the inclusion of the map to show where everything is in comparison to the manor!

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

Beautiful animals, beautiful landscape and an epic effort to help the eco-system. ❤

[@kasie680]

All the animals are all happy and healthy ❤❤ just love Luke!! 🥰 He’s so goofy and gorgeous! It’s so lovely ❤😂 I could spend days with him 🤭

[@bernadettevanderploeg9551]

the pigs look so healthy and happy.❤

[@rbj5767]

❣️⚡️

[@brianr1965]

Thank you so much for the animal update and tour! I Mapperton Wildlands is looking beautiful 🤩 it was great seeing you and Ben together on this tour as you both add so much to the experience. Be well guys. Also, the white cows are absolutely magical 🐮

[@elizabethheatley22]

Well done Mapperton! A truly noble goal.

[@cherimawby9709]

Thanks for this fabulous tour, the White Hall cattle are are beautiful, so interesting to see these ancient breeds, you are doing a great job for ecosystems Luke 👍❤️

[@StKrane]

This rewilding project is remarkable. Seeing the beavers being busy calmed me right down ;) Have you thought of teaming up with a university or some biologists to help document and analyze the progress and the benefits? That might help to give other people the data they need to rewild, too.Thank you so much for doing this rewilding project and for this beautiful video.

[@sylviaroberts5936]

Such a beautiful landscape, my life is so much more enriched watching and learning about the details of this environment, a heartfelt thank you , and the music is so atmospheric!🤗.

[@CathyMiller0711]

Outstanding ecological project!

[@longwaytotipperary]

What spectacular photography!! Such a wonderful endeavor to improve the environment!!! Both Luke and Julie are tireless advocates for preserving their culture. We are the beneficiaries of their charismatic (and yet humble) personalities showcasing what can be accomplished in an extremely entertaining manner!!

[@elizabethroessner8487]

I think you two are wonderful to do this! God bless you both.

[@diane8885]

Thank you for doing this. It is important work!

[@NailahRoberts]

Those pigs look so happy😍

[@mngagnieux]

Looove this and the symbiotic relationship of these animals and nature. Such a beautiful natural environment how wonderful this rewilding project. 🙏❣🙌

[@Robin-g7q5d]

I am so happy to see the earth returning to its ‘natural’ state! Your Rewilding Project reminds me of what happened at Yellowstone National Park when the Wolves were reintroduced there. It was devoid of vegetation due to the Deer and Elk eating it all, as their numbers dropped, the trees and other vegetation returned and it is show lush and green with many species returning to the Park. Your care of your land is making a big difference in our environment, Thank you!

[@conniechurches5831]

Thank you for showing and updating the animals. Do you still have the sheep?

[@taunyawren8020]

So wonderful that you are doing this. I love seeing the precious animals.

[@RianShafer]

Love seeing all the animals & the music was pretty too.

[@pollyb.4648]

Love the rewilding! 💚

[@pskeck04]

Greetings from Wild Wonderful WV

[@lynneuribeross2695]

Honey bees would be a great part of this!!!

[@charmainejfritz]

i love all the animals they are incredible! the exmoor ponies are very cool looking - such a great idea and its working so well!

[@charmainejfritz]

the white park cattle are beautiful!

[@Jayhawkga]

Nice. Keep up the good work.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love all the animals in the rewilding project. Like the suggestion of adding bee hives.

[@Sheila-G]

Absolutely gorgeous no real predators there either right? We have coyotes, wild pigs, cougars, Bob cats and lots of snakes, alligators, a few wolves and bears in very rural areas Texas is big enough for them to spread put lol

[@AtlantaGarden]

Sometimes I get tired of looking at dusty old rugs and paintings... your beautiful land is truly a breath of fresh air! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. [The rewilding in the UK is fascinating to me as well.] Best wishes for continued success.

[@santacruz7455]

Wonderful, love what you do on the estate! Hope to visit Mapperton in 2024!

[@deborahjanes3135]

It would be nice to see some deer running the grounds.❤

[@joyreynolds9185]

I think bees would be a great addition. I have bee hives and love watching them. I love the beavers and their enclosure.

[@savannahborn4025]

Lovely

[@nrivera4380]

Such a lovely tour showcasing the animals!

[@bbert-fauxlopher]

I've had several ready replies to this video and may make more. I just had to stop at the horse segment and let you know how beautiful they are and how you treat them. Very beautiful! I do notice that some KZbin channels have a story about just one animal and I see that you have a family of horses that I think you can dedicate a channel to and let us and all interested see the stories of the horses! My % will be discussed later. LoL. But there is a huge horse following on KZbin... So, mayb?

[@ericrabinowitz6390]

Have to keep an eye on the beaver climbing the gate! ... Wondering if anyone lives in the farm house by the white cattle? There's a little 'holiday let village' project for Julie and Malcolm.

[@harrietnelson6048]

The animals are thriving in their natural environment.

[@georgeappleton9469]

Thank You Guys For The Map!)))) It helped us figure out exactly where you and the animals are on that HuGe Property of yours!))) Also as always, Great Music!))) ❤️From across the pond Jacqueline

[@setosiris9208]

so amazing!!!!

[@risalangdon9883]

Luke, Don't you also have Sheep at Mapperton?? BTW, love the animal updates!!

[@maryenglish9314]

Loved the video. So beautifully done, music, landscape and animals. Well done.

[@patriciararick3245]

Wonderful presentation and great work!

[@shelleymccrory-martines9906]

LUKE: Thanks for the tour update. Are there any thoughts of the Beavers having Kits this coming Winter?

[@libbybeecher8935]

I love the rewilding videos!

[@dsmith9796]

Nice to see the animals out in their natural environment - will you provide some type of shelter for them from the harshest winter weather? Hard to think of them out in a freezing rain.

[@donnapecoraro3126]

they all look so happy and have beautiful coats!

[@pamelacoles4634]

Impressive project ! Good choice of species ! I’m fascinated by The Rewilding Movement … heard it first here ! Thank you and best of luck !

[@GinWren]

So interesting and beautiful. Appreciated the map to help put it all into perspective.

[@joycemichelin250]

Your wilding project is so fascinating, aside from critical. Are you reaching out to spread the word into, say, the US where I live? (Highland IN, not far from Julie’s home). Does anyone here seem interested in what you’re doing? As something they would like to do as well? I hope so. So important. Thank you. AND did you expect you’d be doing all this in your life and are you loving it??

[@bmbutler2]

Where are the replacement of the food that was produced from the land?

[@thomasmattson2389]

There needs to be more cannons, Luke should walk around in armor and challenge the neighbors to a joust. And you need a large dog to guard the chickens.

[@dr.strangelove7739]

You all have an incredibly interesting channel. As a business and corporate development executive in the U.S., I can tell you both that you are doing an excellent job marketing the estate. You still have a lot of room to grow your visitor count, especially tourists from the U.S.. You may already have a podcast available on Apple, Google, Spotify, Pandora, etc., but if you don't I suggest you get them going. All should point back to your your KZbin account (to increase view count). The content for the podcast will not create a lot of new work for you since you can choose to run an audio version of your KZbin programming. (Remember Twitter has a revenue platform as well) Lots of great opportunities for an estate like yours. You should have big profits in the future!

[@SissyKay]

Your countryside is so beautiful.

[@natashah9056]

Love love love that you do this. ❤

[@lindsayhenson6628]

Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s a fabulous venture, so heartwarming to see.

[@rebphil1254]

Incredible. I was thinking about all the work which must have been done and continue to be done behind the scenes. Things which we never get to see in order for this rewilding project to happen. And of course I would also like to mention all the hard work the animals are doing as well. ☺️Your entire team should be extremely proud.

[@Mary-sg6uo]

The person that has your family painting is Dr Quinn Peeper

[@jennifernash9216]

Don’t forget to like. Great episode. ❤

[@susenjarvis8281]

Good afternoon. Susen Jarvis from Salt lake City Utah USA

[@alexk7973]

Is there a plan for fully integrating all the pasture and different animals? Or is this not possible because of existing roads? Is the fencing kept up for a while to get a handle on grasses, hoping to allow in other plants? I‘m just wondering as the system of rotating grazers seems counterintuitive to the idea of letting them choose where to graze and how long to stay in one area. Won‘t there still be a human-design element to the resulting plant development and density? From having read „Wilding“ by Knepp‘s Isabella Tree I understood that in their journey was entirely hands-off between the arrival of the species and the point in time of having to manage the head count. Are you trying out a different way?

[@mariagillinson8527]

Would you consider natural shelter of logs for the pigs so they have a choice to use or not but out of the direct elements.

[@PatriciaRogers-e3r]

Great video and love the music in it. Thankyou for sharing these precious animals with us all. Patricia from New Zealand. :)

[@SeldimSeen1]

Wonderful and inspiring project.

[@bbert-fauxlopher]

I can't help myself. There's a guy who has a very successful KZbin channel with millions of viewers that only unlocks beaver dams! You guys have not begun to reap your rewards in the field of your wildlife video content. We are very interested as I'm feeling like it speak for millions. I really have hope for further videos from your wild life!

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Lovely video, and very educational!

[@janhaenell6311]

What an interesting and peaceful video. So informative. I hope all goes well for your re wilding project. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@claudiamann7111]

Great video. Love seeing all the animals. I have left several messages and written an email but have never heard. It is about the antique portrait that I saw in New Orleans of Viscountess Hinchingbrook. Was hoping to hear from you.

[@pheart2381]

Would love a 24 hour live beavercam.

[@jennsadventures84]

Looks great 👍! So fun to watch this as it happens. Thank you for the update. I do have a question. Will you neuter the males to prevent inbreeding?

[@thelazychefuk4410]

And the lions and the bears and wildcats? 😉

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariagillinson8527]

How do you keep up with the ponies hoof care ? As they don’t have rough ground to grind down their hooks?

[@hollykeller1545]

The animal episodes are my favorite❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mariainman3618]

amazing ❤

[@lianefehrle9921]

Who picked out the music and who did that?

[@peterwilkinson4508]

Do your Exmoor ponie have human contact?

[@jeanthobaben]

I don't know gender of your beavers. Will they reproduce or, will you import new beavers? They are making good progress!

[@judy-angedv7590]

it's a couple :-)

[@KasSommers]

Woody is the male and Twiggy is the female. They are hoping for kits.

[@DianeZupancic]

😢please advise on the hopeful return of Woody and Twiggy to their habitat since the flooding.

[@waltercook4868]

I live in the desert and don't know anything about English ivy. It sounds like it is destructive. It destroys stone walls and kills trees. Is English ivy native to the UK? How could your woodlands mature with ivy killing trees? Are there any critters that eat ivy?

[@yuliastiti9922]

🇲🇨😁😁👍👍🙏

[@savannahborn4025]

If you allow the beavers to wander, would they leave for good?

[@judy-angedv7590]

I suppose owners of other estates will not be too happy it the beavers are entering parts of their land that are not to be rewilded :-) So let them wander won't be much appreciated by the neigbours

[@rowandowland1391]

Thanks for sharing these insights into the wonderful rewilding project. It's fascinating to see how the system all works. I wondered if you plan to farm the pigs and cattle or are will they live long happy lives. The beavers are certainly industrious. I assume the benefits they bring by creating habitat for other species offset the impacts of felling trees?

[@donnaoconnell5840]

[@franciswhite4079]

Interesting to know when you give the animals health checks by a vet

[@marysmolarz3741]

Have you added predators?

[@pheart2381]

Wolves and bears might cause some problems.

[@robertgrey5993]

You will need some predators for the pigs, They will proliferate out of control if not.

[@pheart2381]

Its a rewilding project,not Jurassic Park

[@richardxxx8358]

how much gas do they release?

[@pheart2381]

Same as domestic types,but this is in some part offset by the pasture they are living on setting up a natural methane,co2,plant absorbtion and release cycle.

[@mariapetras2654]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@bbert-fauxlopher]

Did you know that President George Bush the II used to call his Attorney General Karl Rove a turdblossom? (per Wikipedia) In East Texas cows would munch on Texas Roses and poo out the seeds and in the middle of an old cowpie would be a beautiful yellow rose if Texas. One that I wouldn't smell.
