[QUOTE="essexpete, post: 7739486, member: 553"] I am thinking along the line for years that re-wilding parts of farms that are difficult to manage, poor soils, wet etc is the proper way to do it. I have mentioned before, a piece of land local to here and farmed with poor arable crops until about 1978, is totally scrubbed up woodland. It has been so for the last 20 years or so. The only clear places on the land are managed. The salient point is the species are the native ones that thrive on that ground, nothing imported. I have a corner of a small paddock that was wet and have let that scrub. Takes no time at all, except for the neighbour who decided to prune without permission. Have the native flora and I would guess the native fauna will follow. Clearly in small area it will only support smaller animals unless there are links to other similar areas. Doing nothing as an alternative needs funding if that is the way things are heading. [/QUOTE]
