Meanwhile we starve, between climate communism and energy racket the poor will suffer the most. I wonder if the Broughton would be so keen without grants? Taking a man made environment and changing it to a man made environment rewilding 😂

Just need many different diverse habitats next to each other. Mayuwake method works well for crowded planting and making that habitat different. Crowded bits are good and dead bits are good and more sparse bits are good and open areas are good. All different and all together

So you want farmers to grow things we can’t eat rather than things we can eat.

Looking for forests to visit on maps showed me just how devastated the uk is. I would like to be part of a project like this.

Food production?: Cows love Woods!

Why cut down the conifer shelter belt? Cows love them.

Love seeing the work you do! I'm hopeful for a future where we will act as stewards of nature rather than exploiters.

The farmer mentioned, reducing mumbers in livestock he saw a increase in profits, what about food output. Is the country going to suffer through lack of food if all farmers are forced into this way of farming. Im all for rewilding bit conscious we are a island with 70 million people living on that needs to eat

This is so exciting, I love what you are doing ❣️

Inspiring stuff. And yes, they're cute, Kelly.

I wonder where my comment went? Regarding flooding, rainfall penetration into the soil profile or the lack of it due to compaction, can be massively improved upon by imitating a natural grassland ecosystem like the great plains or Serengeti where huge herds of mega herbivores congregate on mass. In an agricultural system this is achieved through mob grazing instead of set stocking which stimulates the relationship between soil organisms and plant roots which creates aggregation, basically spaces within the soil profile through which water can percolate through rather than over the top of, the soil profile.

lovely to see so many trees being planted ,only hope Sycamore is not included.

it's NOT rocket science that rough grassland is better than a monoculture of one grass species contstantly sprayed with chemicals ,rough grassland has herbs which is god for life stock thus reducing the need for antibiotics in the animals.

Oh they are cute Kelly! How exciting to have this rare breed on the land doing their thing.

Disruption is important to create dynamic microhabitats. Just no chemicals.

Super!

Wonderful! Well done guys.

Noble ambitions being a West country boy myself but in today's world there are so many other conflicting demands like housing,healthcare,farming food,so yours is an uphill(get the pun)but keep goin😊❤

Nice thank you

Good stuff, thanks

This has been uploaded before and is excellent, but previous comments have been lost. I, and I hope the majority of people, wish Broughton every success, and that this large project will build on the rewilding initiatives going on across the globe. There was a comment about the uniformity of the planting in rows, akin to plantation planting, with which I sympathised. The reply was that the various species of trees will compete, and some will fail, producing a more diverse forest with gaps and rotting timber. That should then produce the anticipated explosion of wildlife over the coming years. Hopefully, then with large herbivores being introduced in the future, that will accelerate the explosion of wildlife even more. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Brilliant video!

How do Neil and Roger became so illuminated? Every single farmer and landowner I ever interacted with were as obtuse, greedy and blind to environmental needs as it gets. Change is clearly possible, but what are the tools to accelerate the process?

Absolute bollocks.....if he thinks that grazing land is devoid of nature he needs to look properly....how much is he getting paid from the government?.....it's a scam

Really interesting topic, but vid would be better without the subtitles. They are distracting.

This could be awesome. It’s a real shame about the terrible auto subtitles. The river Aire is misspelled multiple times as is Broughton. It’s great seeming landowners taking some responsibility as the impact the majority us can make is small in comparison Being a complete pedant the planting looks very planted I get the constraints with the need for machinery to break ground but the straight lines of tubes is far from natural. I pass it on the way to work everyday, it’ll hopefully look better on time, and better public access!!!!

Respect Replenish Reward 🌿

I enjoyed the music which was appropriate, however the volume could have come down a notch. Background music seems contentious in YT videos. Great production, thank you. Hopefully the money/funding side of things is ok?

I hope your successes outweigh your failures. Sir Charles seems such a patient man and I’m sure it wasn’t easy creating Knepp Rewilding. It must be hard trying to decrypt nature’s algorithms to accelerate what would otherwise have taken centuries, into years and decades. Then being patient. Power to your elbows!

Roger Tempest especially but all the narrators are such awesome inspiration! Thank you from a suburban, garden rewilder ❤🤩🤩

I would have liked more information on exactly what is done concretly

Great Projekt ! Greetings from Germany

So beautiful seeing children planting trees and healing the land from the damage of their ancestors. Keep up the great work!

All I see is fields of plastic tree guards which will give rise to plastic pollution, no natural regeneration or succession. You do at least recognise the problem of an imbalanced ecosystem with too many herbivores. It's not rewinding its an artificial plantation that will be constantly dependent on human input. Not good

Nice video. Couple of comments. First, it's a real shame you chose to plant wall-to-wall tree whips in tubes. This is absolutely the wrong way to do rewilding. Plant small clumps and allow them to then act as source populations for natural infilling between planting. You're just going to get an even-age stand which isn't all natural. And you also bypass the spectacularly important early successional open grassy shrubland phase. Second point: why talk about pigs with no mention of Wild Boar? Rewilding Britain especially should qualify all mention of pigs by stating that we'd far rather have a co-ordinated Wild Boar recovery plan for England but because Wild Boar has no such plan - it's a neglected native - we're forced to use domestic pigs for now.

Great project and yes good point we all expect Brazil to save its rain forests and yet we did a pretty good job of getting rid of ours here in New Zealand and also the UK etc. Hope is eternal....

Love how the research is going hand in hand with the development of the sanctuary and show the progress being made.

Great to see the 2 local initiatives mutually sharing lessins and ideas. Makes for a better tapestry of rewilded environments

Why use "cute" pigs instead of wild boars, is this some sort of petting zoo?

Why would you not use fencing across those vast areas of newly-planted land instead of the dreaded plastic tubes? In what way is this a demonstration of sustainability? Yes, brilliant to plant trees but at what cost, financial and environmental?

As much as i LOVE rewilding projects i think its a terrible idea to make farmers reliant on government subsidies! The government doesn't give two sh*ts about famers and will F*** them over when ever it suits them

Cut in July! This is why your hay meadows will never have corncrake or quail breeding!

So glad to hear of more and more rewinding projects around the world.

Absolutley amazing! I am so glad that there is growing awareness about rewilding in England. I was somewhat shocked to see how tiny the woodlands are there compared to the ones in Germany.

Super cute pigs! And such wonderful work. Well done Kelly and everyone involved, including the video makers!

More reasons to love Broughton. Please show us the piglets when they arrive :o)

27:58 i don't know how someone can see this image and think, "wow, that's so natural." It looks like humans trying to impose their will on nature still, just in a different way. And all the plants growing up with plastic guards and stuff. Everything planted in parallel rows. Even if they're different plants it still creates some level of monoculture.

I'd like to see a more regenerative agriculture approach personally, along the lines of Mark Shepard's project.

2:54 when people are making decisions because of gov't incentives, that is both unnatural and unsustainable. Nature doesn't centrally plan, so when central planners try to be "natural" they will inevitably fail. And usually end up causing more harm than they prevent.
