Had the pleasure of leading another very enjoyable walk at Wild #Oakingham rewilding site near Nettlebed in Oxfordshire. This time for the Reading & District Natural History Society. Here the owner Jane is showing us the whizzo CEH invertebrate monitoring & identification system.

A really excellent day @_FutureCountry conference (aside from universal worries about the next spending review). Michael Gove gave outstanding honest account of his time as Sec of State and the challenges of government. On now to a few articulate youngsters sharing their views.

Very pleasant morning showing @Berkshire Ornithological Society members around #WildOakingham with wonderful landowner Jane. The highlight for me was one of them saying to me afterwards “I was very sceptical about #rewilding before but you’ve won me over.” Fair play to him.

Just managed to beat the storms today filming for generous benefactors of @RewildingB - UBS Optimus Foundation - on the merits of #rewilding. Many thanks to #WildOakingham for allowing us to film at their rewilding site and to the very obliging Longhorn Cattle for the backdrop.

Did you know #beaver wetlands are #wildfire resistant?

This string of beaver ponds stayed green during the 2020 Mullen Fire in WY while the surrounding area burned heavily. We visited the site recently and it's still full of fish, beavers, bears, birds, and more!

Thanks, beavs.

Back on private rewilding duty showing @BBOWT and organic farmers around Wild Oakingham rewilding land in south Oxfordshire. Thousands of froghopper nymphs in the grasslands (a birdfood bonanza to come) anthills developing nicely and “thorn the mother of the oak” adage in action.

🦅 It’s time to turbo charge rewilding! Our new report - launched today - shows how it can be done. We’re often asked about how to fund rewilding projects. But did you know…? 1/5 #RewildFinance #Rewilding #NatureRecovery

Size matters when it comes to rewilding, because it's easier to move further up the spectrum and let nature lead more. But you can still adopt many rewilding principles and dramatically restore biodiversity by rewilding at a smaller scale as at Oakingham in south Oxon @SouthOxon

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

Very pleasant morning explaining and filming changes at Wild Oakingham rewilding farm in south Oxfordshire. Undoubted highlight today was the discovery of several spectacular Wasp Spiders. A handsome beast that is on the move up country and thriving in rough grasslands like this.

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

Latest podcast covering most of the common #rewilding questions/challenges on definition, principles, spectrum, interventions, food, people, income sources, attitudes, projects, livestock, reintroductions, policy & funding. https://t.co/3o8S4H5d13 Spotify: https://t.co/Ds4g3oyGiB

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

Bio-abundance is a critically important aspect of biodiversity and one of the most dramatically obvious responses from nature to #rewilding is the rapid surge in invertebrates. At the Oakingham rewilding site nr Reading, butterfly surveys are finding app 500 butterflies per ha !

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

🚨 Launching Tomorrow 🚨

I’m delighted to share that the first three episodes of my new podcast Rewilding the World will be available tomorrow on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It’s out!
I can’t wait to read it.
It’s all so doable!

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

Another major milestone reached in the #rewilding journey. The launch of the brilliant @isabella_tree’s #BookofWilding - a comprehensive and much-needed handbook of rewilding at all scales.

On a day when #volunteering is being celebrated and encouraged, it’s worth mentioning that #rewilding projects have led to a huge increase in volunteer numbers compared with pre-rewilding. Interested? Case examples here with links to project websites: https://t.co/6pvWk9hak9
