A great example of this is elephants. They are highly intelligent animals who have great memories. As well as this they learn behaviours and routes that then pass down the generations within their herd. It will be interesting to see how we view animals in the future. #animals

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

When was the last time you noticed an animal looking at you? For me, this happens all the time and I love seeing what personalities the animals have. Throughout our history the way that we have viewed animals has constantly changed #cumbriawildlifemedia

We have evolved to be cable of advanced language and culture so we assume that we are better. However, these other animals still have their own language and ways of communicating. And in numerous cases, they appear to have different cultures between groups.

In the mid-1900s, if you were to visit Gavin Maxwell in his remote house on the coast of Scotland, you would find several otters with him that he kept as pets. What a strange but interesting (and cute) pet to keep! #cumbriawildlifemedia #gavinmaxwell #otter

Gavin Maxwell raised otters - his book, Ring of Bright Water sold more than a million copies! #springwatch

Wildlife ponds are a great way of rewilding a part of your garden. Just make sure it's safe for all wildlife that may take a dip! #hedgehogweek #cumbriawildlifemedia

It always amazes me how intelligent and caring animals are. I'm constantly seeing new examples of this that only deepen my appreciation for them #cumbriawildlifemedia

One thing Twitter has taught me is how smart and compassionate so many creatures on this planet are. 🐢 💙

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

Absolutely love these birds and what an amazing photograph!!

For example, landowners can manage their way in regenerative ways to help protect their habitats; people can buy produce from landowners who do this, and the government could help subsidise landowners as they make this change to protect our environment. #cumbriawildlifemedia

In all honesty, when I started reading this book I thought it was quite dull. Reading about someone's experience of riding through fields on a tractor didn't really pique my interest. However the further I got into the book, the more the information began to appeal to me.

[National Trust @nationaltrust]

Nature winner: English Pastoral: An Inheritance by James Rebanks

A book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

An important question he asks in this book is 'who is responsible for the curlews' and my response to this would be all of us but in different and unequal ways.

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

@Ferguson2Dr That does tend to be a theme with the people parts being boring. Dogs are much more interesting!

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

This is pretty much how I imagine the dog's narrative from To Build a Fire, Jack London would be. Dogs such as huskies are adapted to the cold and must think we're arrogant for thinking we can survive such conditions. I would love to read this story from the dog's perspective

[Dog from to Build A Fire @FromBuild]

Well. Turns out he's dead. Could just smell it, (horrible stench btw) but it's not like I wasn't expecting it. I'ma just head on over to the other fire makers that were nearby. Adios stupid dead man!

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

It was also a great opportunity to find some wildlife. Here are just a few pictures of what I was able to spot whilst planting up! #CumbriaWildlifeMedia

[Jordan Bennett @ThrivingJordan]

It was great fun taking part in #TheBigPlant and a great way to help rewild areas whilst bringing the community together. I can't wait for next year to see how well they've grown and what wildlife they've attracted! #rewilding

[CumbriaWildlifeTrust @cumbriawildlife]

Great, thanks for sharing @cainscrimgeour and for taking part in #TheBigPlant this week! 🌻🌼
