Good morning dear friends.

#Today I'm very keen to start making contact with people who are #active in

#rewilding,
#SocialForestry,
#RegenerativeAgriculture,
#SlowTheFlow, etc.,

ideally in #Cymru or the wider #UK .

I'm hugely inspired by this podcast series, https://www.petermichaelbauer.com/the-rewilding-podcast/ . Do have a listen if you haven't already.

I pray for a tidal wave of interest and engagement in this field, if we are to quickly overgrow the broken ignorant systems that we have inherited.

All this recent flooding has inspired me to trrumpet loudly about #slowtheflow and everything to do with enacting it on a large and practical scale. This and other examples to follow. Let's #brainstorm before the next #rainstorm.

@[email protected] The devastation of flooding is dreadful to see. Especially when there is so much we can do to improve the management of the movement of water through our landscapes. There is so much we can do to improve the health of our farmland soils. β€œFor a silty-clay loam every 1% increase in soil organic carbon equates to a water holding capacity of 354 000 litres a hectare to a depth of 30 cm.” https://www.nfuonline.com/updates-and-information/soil-organic-matter-and-increased-water-holding-capacity/ #ClimateDiary

@ScotHomestead I deliver #NFM and #slowtheflow through work but wondering how to adapt to a small scale
Not feeling very chirpy this #morning. Damaged my back. In #pain. Told to avoid #walking! I can’t do that! So to go with my #mood, a #BlackAndWhite of Dallow Moor, #Yorkshire from the #weekend. Degraded #Peat #Moorland, highly managed #heather for #grouse #shooting. We need to restore these once #rich #ecosystems. #CarbonCapture #SlowTheFlow #Landscape #Photograph
