I have only just found out about knepp wildlife foundation, And watched the videos I myself come from a farming background, Having being born on a farm in somerset, back in the 1940s Farming then was a more natural way of managment But over the years, has become more technology involved, Such as the use of insecticides , Which has interfered with the survival of our natural habitat On visiting the farm i used t live Sadly there are no longer hedges dividing the fields, taking away the habitat of species of birds. And also a decline in badgers, fox and deer.and rabbits which some farmers consider them pests. I cannot remember the last time i saw a hare We need more farmers to follow this kind of managment I,m pretty sure this would be a benifit to the planet over all.

Burrowers de-compact soils by digging den sites, tunnels, storage chambers, and add to soil nutrients through feces, feed on primary productions, and generally aid in soil fertility.

Map Migration Routes, Ridgelines, and macro and micro-Site your larger Study are of reference to ground truth potentials

Cavity builders and nesters are creating niches which need cover, shelter, and secrecy to avoid predators,

A few Key acorn pests may have been avoided by acorns not being utilized and high use of healthy acorn production, add potential germination or sprouts on Site or burned area needed.

Timing of late Season fires or fall fires best be after falls rains and potential harvests of berries, nuts, acorns, cones, before Winter season. Did not wish to harm larger, maturing trees.

Potash, is burnt Plant tissues, yet a great nutrient addition to Soils.

Potahs is used by hummingbirds, insects, and other Species as a dietary additive, stomach aid, or others needs and I regularly see birds eating ash.

Ashes and fires do attract Insect and other users of the disturbance, or gap, fire size and severity matters, clearing meadows and glades favored Native berries, currents, seeds, and other foodstuffs which like open sunlight or on the edges of the Forest stands.

Investigate Historical use of fire to control Succession of plant Species. What Species, reasoning, scale of prescribed burning. Grasslands were sometimes burnt after summer growth, natural harvests, bulb picking, or natural primary vegetative growth to reduce rank vegetation, clear seedlings or sometimes prep planting areas.

Actually the black flies were on the long grass of a glade still drowsy, dewy, and chilled easy pickings for the Siala mexicana ! Western bluebirds due tend to feed on or around Mistletoe at times, maybe for Insect larva, etc.

Quercus, acorn mast production, is a driver of the localized food chain for many of the localized Flora and Fauna, if not Stock, pigs, and or gallinaceous birds of native origins. Nesting substrate of Mature to aging trees form nesting and roostin substrate for many Species. Even the mistletoe is attractive to in North America Western bluebirds, as they feast on large black flies wet with morning dew.

Soma Ancient plants still need available water for dispersing gametes ( Mosses) from males to females. Survivors matter, some Mollusks have both male and female gonads.

Macro and Micro Sites are niches for Insects, Mollusks, Crustaceans, and submerged or floating vegetatative forms, nutrient cycling, and absorption of nutrients.

Well done for keeping people like me informed

Where are all the animals. The place seemed devoid of life other than bird calls. Where are the wild cattle, wild pigs and wild ponies?

This is also happening in New Zealand where conservationists have purchased swaths of land and let nature take it back. Surviving nature is way less stressful than surviving our urban hellscapes we have created.

This is extravagant art. The quality of the moments captured as well as the materials makes for a well-defined topic, purpose, and exhibit! I love the exhibit quality and materials at 2:19. Do you create these hanging photos from string? Do you have any links for materials such as this! Brilliant! Thank you for this work.

don't get why they can re-introduce beaver and white storks but not Wild Boar !!! Strange !!!

4:56 is that a stork I see on it's nest. I know they were reintroduced at Knepp a few years back

I spent years tramping and camping the Downs , with our default camp being in North Stoke , just behind Arundel castle . It was an old boy scouts haunt with cleared areas off the track and paths going everywhere , and it's a nature reserve . There was a water source on the bank of the Arun that was uncovered at low tide that was not chalky and beautifully fresh . One of the guys who lived there permanently told me it came from Germany . They did a dye test in some German river that went underground and less water appeared when it resurfaced , and the orange dye came out in SE England . A magical place , so many great or otherwise memories . I still haven't ditched or passed on my camping gear , still have thoughts of going back once or twice is the reason .

It would benefit from some wild boar

Great video! I’d love to visit Knepp at some point

You can hire a lovely tree house to spend a weekend in this beautiful place... that we should have to pay dearly for something that should be open to all! On the other hand, we are so many that if we all went there the place would get trampled and destroyed, cigarette buts and empty cans of bear everywhere, alas! So here we are, back to square one, only a few have access to the good things in life

I would like a voice over to explain things

I think everyone knows (or should know) what happens to land in temperate zones if left undisturbed. This looks very like our local common did 30 years ago. It is now thick oak woodland. The linnets, kestrels, skylarks, meadow pipits redstarts and other heathland birds have mostly gone and been replaced by crows, jackdaws, woodpeckers and magpies. As the trees are mostly young oaks there is very little in the way of nesting sites for small birds.

all thats missing is a snow lion and two cave men.

This is fascinating. I’ve become mildly obsessed with Knepp since I found out about it a few weeks ago. I’m midway through the Wilding book but until your video I found it hard to find pictures or videos that give an idea of the scale of the place. Thank you very much for posting

You got Beavers here? If you don’t you should since they would be great for the Environment

was it an abandoned farmland?
