In a country where 69% of land is farmed and just 1% actively rewilded, why has the latter come to seem like such a threat to the former? What’s really behind this fear?

Wow! Just wow.

Mark Ross describes himself as a “beginner” to kite photography. If this is what the beginning looks like we can’t wait to see the next chapters. Well done Mark!

Rising input costs. Cheap food culture. Climate change…

These are just some of the pressures UK farmers face. Set against this backdrop, the drive to restore species and habitats to this island is often seen as the straw that will break the camel’s back.

“You can’t eat trees” has become a rallying cry for people who fear being removed from the land, to be replaced by woodland and wildlife.

Will rewilding put people out of business? Is it a threat to food security?

Always exciting to see the photos come in from a Touch the Wild workshop here. Paul has an amazing eye for a photograph and always produces something creative and unexpected. This weekend he and his guests worked on panning - soaring kite in the foreground, autumnal colours in the background - love it!
