Tell National Grid to Rethink Sea Link

Super, bravo
Wonderful.
Saw one of these for the first time this morning. Thought it was a slug at first glance. Hope the ‘lil guy finds a place to pupate. ❤
fantastic work, well explained. fabulous
When MP's gives this kind of time and attention to wildlife, it's incredibly heartening (and quite the contrast to the previous, horrible Tories). Well done Labour.
Incredibly illuminated women. Please keep us updated on the results of the project.
hope !!
Would you believe Turtle Doves are feral in Australia? They were released into the wild and are now everywhere in populated areas. We have some really delightful small doves, about 1/2 to 2/3rds the size of Turtle Doves, they are much more interesting.
Well done. Keep it going.
You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work. It's sad to say that I was a farm worker's in the 70s and 80s and we grubbed out many hedges. I've been trying to help nature ever since.
What a wonderful and inspired idea! If only there were more like you. Wishing you success in your venture.
As a business, they will always go for the lowest-cost route. I say, pay for more expensive route, taking into account the value of wildlife. Too many wet fields full of lapwings bulldozed over and never used. Too may verges dug-up by utility companies & left spoilt. The direction of travel is ALWAYS downwards.
It's time to put PRSERVATION ABOVE PROFIT! Is the National Grid investing in ‘mini’ nuclear reactors around UK?
Well done you folk of Kent. Please, is there a particular address or individual at The National Grid to write to ? Good luck from a friend in Cornwall (who, this year, has noticed a dramatic drop in particular bird species locally).
Ah, went to Kent Wildlife Trust's good website - thank you.
These cable links are vital for achieving net zero; as are projects like the high voltage pylons that the green party are opposing in East Anglia. There's always a good reason why this or that project shouldn't go ahead but if everyone gets their way no new renewable infrastructure will be built and we will miss our climate goals.
Yes. However, the implication is that the alternative routes would cost £x more to use. As a business, they will always go for the lowest-cost route. I say, pay for more expensive route, taking into account the value of wildlife.
@RussTillling absolutely, they are proposing a Substation, size of 9 football pitches and over 26 metres high, on our wonder marshland at #saveminstermarshes. Marshland, floods, Site of Special Scientific Interest. Endangered birds, amazing wildlife. Yes needed but not on this type of area. Brownfield. It's an amazing place. Look up Minster Marshes.
Most informative. The Save Minster Marshes has nearly 13,000 people against this. Alternatives apparently turned down but never advised why!
These birds are everywhere in Australia?
There is no such thing as an important nature preserve.
You're right they're not important, they're vitally important, good of you to point that out.
Clearly have no idea. sssi. Site of Special Scientic Interest.
😊😊Lovely interview with lovely people! Thank god for some positivity in farming! Thank you
Lovely to see your videos. 👏👏
Super. Thanks for the video! 😄 Be interested if there are ongoing surveys of numbers of certain species before & after the bison arrived...

First
Great shot a 5:05! 🤩🤩 This footage is so relaxing! I might nod off with them.
Marine wind farms to automatically become marine conservation zones? Design f9ndations of turbines to become artificial reefs?
I hope somebody is feeding these animals.
They don’t need feeding, their food is all around them.
I love following your updates on the bison - thank you.
Water level seems tad low for the numbers
Hi Keynote, the rangers check them every day and they have several ponds to drink from and a trough.
They are roaming over a 50 Ha block of woodland. As said quite a few watering points, as well as loads of shade 👍😊
@@ChasTass excellent I really hate thirst and the bugs that lurk there, thanks for the reply..
Great to hear from our Rewilding pioneer - thank you c
The description of the project says that the River Darent stretches from Westerham to Shoreham. Is this referring to the boundary of the project, as the river itself continues to Dartford? Beautiful video.
Hi Gillian, yes that is the boundary of the project. The landscape recovery project area extends from Westerham to Dartford and not into the Lower Darent. Project partners are doing other work in the Lower Darent to connect this work up. I hope that answers your question! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch!
Great to see your ambition + achievement 👏👏
The 20th century witnessed massive destruction of wildlife and its habitats. What did Sir David Attenborough say about the world’s population in his lifetime, it has trebled! The one thing there isn’t a shortage of is humans. I hope that the 21st century will be when humans give our fellow planetary inhabitants, equal rights to exist with us. Projects such as this a part of this journey. Well done to everyone involved, keep it growing.
We should follow the 10metre rule with all wildlife. Interestingly India’s wildlife parks follow this rule. All park vehicles have to maintain a 10 metre distance from tigers, elephants, antelope, bears, wild dogs….. Sadly unlike Africa where no respect is given to wildlife, you often see cheetah on the top or underneath safari vehicles, elephant coming way to close, even buffalo putting their heads in to safari vehicles. Well done Kent Wildlife, keep up the excellent work educating all the us.
Utterly shocking, how in one breath the council declare an environmental emergency and in the next they hypocritically propose 2000 new builds. Sickening tbh!
I love what are doing. I am hoping you are able to join up the various bits of land right up to the old MOD land by Canterbury Golf Club. Only by making these wild areas big will they be able to restore our depleted landscape. Remembering the UK is in the bottom 10% of the countries in the world for biodiversity. We have a long way to go.
Two decades? Wow, so an early adopter then. Good foresight by those in charge. Are there many bird species like at Knepp? Are there any plans for beavers? Are dead animals allowed to decay? Thank you for a great if short video 🤩🤩
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing this presentation. Excited to see what the research will show over the coming years 👍
Thank you for keeping us informed. I hope you are able to get the bridges built soon.
Very interesting! Great to be able to follow along in detail as this project progresses
I love what you are doing, having been born and raised in Kent until I left in 2001 in my early thirties I know how bad the landscape has been wrecked. Here in NZ where I now live we still have huge open natural spaces.
Now you just need the predators😋
I used to have a pet like this.,although I know it is not allowed to feed that kind of animal in my country.
Agree - i think the UK is THE most nature depleted country in the world. we need less roads and farmland and balance it with woodlands and meadows. We also need our native animals back, particularly the predators : lynx, bear and wolf
nice interview. interesting idea. it is so important that people of all ages and backgrounds know that they can make a change. i look forward to hearing updates about this project
Sir Roger Gale is a good example of what has gone wrong with the Tory Party.
It's a shame that people and/or their dogs will go right up to animals like bison and upset it. It's the dumb people's fault, not the bison's! Same with wolves.
Keep importing people at the rate you are and you won’t have woods anymore. Good luck with that. The UK is a shit hole.
'Sun drenched rides'.... I don't think so in those thickets. De barking trees, is that what is wanted?
Awesome. Good luck and thank you! 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful and well-produced video and music, thank you!
Nice sharing my friend Iam1st comment ❤
