Thank you so much to Polly @PlantBasedNews for this brilliant article! We are delighted to be featured & hope that this piece will inspire more vegans to support the VLM - enabling the rewilding of many more acres of ex-dairy land, saving animals, species in decline & the planet.

This year's theme is #ClimateChange
One of the biggest climate solutions is hiding in plain sight:
LAND ๐ฎ

At the Vegan Land Movement, we remove land from animal agriculture & return it to nature. We've already helped transform nine former grazing sites into wildlife havens, with species counts showing rapid ecological recovery ๐๐ฆ๐ฆก๐ฆ

NEWS FLASH ๐ข๐ฅ
The Vegan Land Movement has planted another rare 'Wet Woodland' habitat on land removed from dairy farming last year.
A good news thread๐งต#Rewilding#CommunityImpact#Wildlife
A good news๐งต
Esp. the part about salvaging tree tubes. Please read that link as most of this was done by people in their 60's.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead
The VEGAN LAND MOVEMENT is a truly wonderful, hands-on organisation buying land from animal farmers and re-wilding it, one plot at a time.
Please support these amazing people if you can.
Vegan Land Movement tree planting update! Itโs incredible what a community of like-minded, dedicated vegans can do over 2 days! More important though is the huge positive impact this will have for wildlife - creating safety (no more hunting) as well as a future woodland habitat.
Brilliant work once again by this fantastic organisation. The vegan community in action and making a positive change ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆก๐ชฟ๐ฆโโฌ๐๐๐ชณ๐ชฒ๐๐๐ชฑ๐ฆ
Remember , if 1 million vegans all donated 1ยฃ/โฌ/$ every month then more land could be rewilded and saved forever๐
@earthFgardener Great news, thank you John ๐. Imagine if many groups went & removed them, it would be wonderful. Not only do they litter around the trees but they also strangle them. Many trees were found dead on the salvage expeditions.
Please be careful at any roadside. Hi-Viz + signs etc๐
Here's a guide to salvaging and reusing those plastic tree guards which litter our countryside (they're forgotten once the grants are paid and the follow-up never happens...).
I'm now inspired to go and salvage a local plastic blot on the countryside here.
How about you?
@earthFgardener Thank you John. It was great to salvage all of these tubes & process them to re-use. We all see them strangulating trees & they never seem to be removed, littering future woodlands with plastic ๐. We created a simple PDF to hopefully inspire others ๐ณ

A great thread showing how land, with a little help, can be allowed to heal and nature regenerate. The re-use of abandoned plastic tree tubes - which had been collected by volunteers from roadsides - brims with positive, joined-up thinking. Fabulous!
Fundraising has begun for Animal Agriculture Buyout Plot number 10. Let's keep saving species ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆก๐๐๐ฆ
Creating these safe places for wild creatures and nature is a WIN for ALL life ๐

Thank you to all of you for helping create these safe havens for wildlife to flourish. Compassion and hope can win out when we all work together..
The VLM has now removed a total of 9 areas of land from animal agriculture and given them back to endangered wildlife, forever. ๐ฑ
