A project using drones to disperse tree seeds could "revolutionise" the expansion of rainforests in South West England.

The Woodland Trust says 75,000 seeds have been scattered on hills which would be inaccessible for human planting by hand.

The drones, which seeded 11 hectares of land around Bodmin in eight hours, scattered tree seeds native to rainforests, including pedunculate oak, alder, wild cherry, downy birch and hazel.

Communities worldwide are transforming neglected golf courses into thriving natural habitats, enhancing biodiversity and public well-being. For example, The Plock of Kyle in Scotland now supports diverse ecosystems like wildflower meadows and peat bogs, home to species like otters and dragonflies. This rewilding movement conserves biodiversity and provides accessible green spaces for physical and mental health.

EHN · Nature's comeback: How rewilding is transforming golf coursesBy EHN Curators

Hier hat sich vor einiger Zeit ein #Biber aus einem kleinen Rinnsaal einen ordentlichen Teich geschaffen.

Und ich bin positiv überrascht, wie es hier aufgenommen wurde:

So viele Leute sind neugierig über den neuen Mitbewohner, dass über die Presse und Schilder vor Ort die Menschen gebeten werden mussten, Ruhe & Abstand zu wahren

Die Gemeinde #Kusterdingen hat dem Landwirt, dessen Fläche überflutet wurde, unkompliziert eine Ausgleichsfläche überlassen.

"A lot of people tell themselves that they ‘need to do something’ but don’t how to start. I felt that way at first, too.

A community-driven model is an incredible opportunity to get those people involved. It shows that we can achieve a lot if we band together, which is an antidote to the doomerism of our time."

The Easter Beltie Restoration project returned a straightened agricultural stream to a natural meandering course, to improve habitats for nature and boost climate resilience.
The project was the only one of its kind in the north east of Scotland, and has created a new, two-kilometre stretch of meandering river corridor flowing through ten hectares of floodplain, rich in habitats where nature can thrive.

"Natural Grazing Facility | Exmoor horse translocation from Grazelands Rewilding to Saksfjed Vildmark" [1:30 min]

Rewilding Europe's Natural Grazing Facility works to scale up natural grazing by wild and semi-wild herbivores in European landscapes. The first translocation organised through the facility has seen a group of Exmoor horses released in Denmark's Saksfjed Vildmark rewilding initiative, led by the Hempel Foundation.

The horses were sold by Grazelands Rewilding (formerly the Taurus Foundation), a Dutch organisation working to enhance natural grazing in the Netherlands and across Europe. To supplement these animals, Rewilding Europe donated a further 17 horses that were living at the Kempen-Broek rewilding initiative.

Anyone involved in practical rewilding that employs natural grazing can connect with the Natural Grazing Facility - either as a potential supplier or a potential recipient of herbivores. All organisations will be carefully vetted to ensure their efforts align with rewilding principles."

Some examples of what I've been changing.

I'm weaning myself off of Google, Facebook, and any other tech company that has shown themselves to be after utter rule of everyone. I'm getting as much info into offline repositories as I can.

I've left a toxic living situation, which took great sacrifice – potentially I've lost hundreds of thousands of $ in this decision. But I've regained my mind and my time.

I've moved into an aluminum tiny house on wheels, aka a trailer. I've given up running water and reliable electric and internet. I shit in a bucket. I will soon be setting up a solar battery. My carbon footprint is rapidly shrinking. The conveniences I've given up were scary, but not that bad, and in many ways, the intentionality of my consumption is mentally and spiritually healthier.

I was already showering and laundering less often thanks to my disability. This is coming in handy.

I've started thinking about how my ancestors lived. I still use kleenex, and without water my paper towel use has gone up a little bit, but I'm using hankies and rags more often. I'm reusing every piece of single-use plastic I possibly can, because fuck the system I'll use my god-given plastic as much as I want TYVM. I've reduced my usage of purchased ziplocks as much as reasonably possible.

I think about each of my daily actions and continually challenging myself towards doable shifts in my thinking and acting. Mindfulness. "Chop wood, carry water."

Effective political action is like improving your health.

We're not talking a fad 2-week diet so you can fit into your dress by reunion time. We're not talking mass riots in the streets until the regime change finally comes.

We're talking lifestyle change.

We're talking habits.

We're talking about waking up every morning thinking about what you're doing this week to affect small change.

We're talking slow but intentional changes to how you consume internet, media, and natural resources.

We're talking about examining your dependencies and thinking about what you can actually dump.

We're talking about letting go of unhealthy technologies.

We're talking about a list of phone numbers you call every week to voice your concerns.

We're talking about exercising your mind daily on mental tasks you might need someday.

We're talking about the small but regular conversations to gently persuade and plant seeds of doubt and curiosity.

We're talking about the local friendships you make with the store clerk and the FedEx deliverer.

We're talking about positioning yourself in the right place and building trust with the right people, so at the right time you can make one subtle change that will gum up the works.

I don't know exactly what actions are best or what you feel inspired by. I don't know what changes *your* particular life needs. But this isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. It isn't a hero that will save us, but teamwork - each of us focusing on our own part and trusting everyone else.

With what's wrong in this world today, it's going to take a complete and total change in *how you live*. Especially if you live in the West.

Because ultimately, this isn't about overthrowing the Elected Fascist of the Year.

It's about decolonization. It's about sustainability. It's about overthrowing the Fascism of the Whole Damn Era.

Next post I'll talk examples, some of the changes I've made in my life.
