I thought it was particularly interesting/ well spun, when the National Trust were asking for more funding last week to provide more areas because of how little their properties were visited by minorities and the lower waged.
So it would seem that they agree with you.

You have to ask yourself what’s in it for peasants like myself? Potentially more expensive imported food. Less employment in rural areas. Higher taxes to pay for it all. Folk are writing books about turning productive arable estates into wilderness, all funded by Natural England as if it’s something to be proud of. I’d be too feckin embarrassed to leave the house.

It’s all a bunch of bollox.
A big estate near here is rewilding over 800 acres. Drains have to be pulled up and ditches blocked.
Bloody ideal if you farm upstream of them.

Just become a publicly funded private nature reserve that you then charge people to go to..... that sounds dandy.
I love my birds etc, but that's the rub of it.
It's also a one way street. You can't go back

I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t allow the work of generations to go derelict. I saw the effort that was put into drainage systems in hard earned cash sweat and tears. Dad went without to invest in this land and farm. And while anybody in the world goes to bed hungry or while any person yearns for a chance to have a go in this industry I just can’t “let it go”. I’ve thought about doing so but I just can’t. It just seems counter intuitive, counter progressive and self indulgent. I might well be wrong. But it would feel wrong to “ let it go”.

Its just a repeat of 1890-1939 except they are speeding up the dereliction.
It all had to be reversed in ww2 on scarce fuel , men and metal.
Thousands of sailors died unnecessarily bringing food from america that could have been grown here.
Brazil will be chopping more rainforest to fulfil demand

I don’t blame him.
Whether we like it or not, he’s going to be extremely busy.

This is interesting.
Serious finance in the background.
This won't be just about the bees, by any stretch of the imagination.
