Rewilding

Same old, Fish. No one can accuse you of changing your tune as you're consistent with your less than pleasant comments about others. 😤

It is the fault of all industry, water companies & Farmers(some) must accept responsibility & make it right. Denial helps no one.

Yes water companies have a big responsibility for poluteing rivers and until massive investment (higher bills for us all) to cope with the fast increasing population and biulding with the resultant pressure on all infrastructure 

I tried to fill my mouth & blame farmers- no one could understand me🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

My last comment may need a bit of explaining to some.When the cuckoo came in April the eco warriors who drove Government policy was all about Rewilding and covering the contryside in trees ( No one  knew what species)>Now by June the policy is Intensive farming, acres of Glass hoses etc.  No one asked the actual farmers and growers about this.As any gardner knows you plant is Spring and Harvest in Summer/Autumn. How doyou then suddenly change course in actuallity at the wrong season. Knock on effect, habitats that have been developed for nature are no longer important,plough them up. This is typical Government dictat,change policy before the ink has dried on the last one. Result Chaos and any good work undone.

I had no issue with understanding at all, in fact you are one of the easiest people on CT to understand Fish-‘you don’t discuss you Troll, you attack, you ignore anything that isn’t agreeing with your agenda. You are a hunting, shooting, fishing hobby farmer with a pet sheep who wishes he was back in the 1950’s when you could do as you like. Trolls just Troll. This is fact not made a made up fairytale. I’m sorry but when you return to Troll you’re on your own. Enjoy your day👍🏻

I thought my last comment was sensible and showed  how fickle opinion is especially by those who actually pull the strings ( Government) but there you go,it soon gets personal here. By the way whast a troll. Never seen one of them round here.A new species perhaps reintruduced?

No, rewilding is not all about covering the countryside in trees, it’s about habitat restoration, very different. It’s about ensuring complex natural ecosystem are given space in this land of ours and are reinstated where possible. There are many farmers who are actually spearheading this vital work however there are some who choose not to and continue to do the damage. To say no one knew the species best included in rewilding projects is not true either, but some did know which were going to be the most economically profitable and attribute false benefits to nature in order to make money. Many of us knew exactly what they were up to but government turned that blind eye to their chums. Just have to look at the flow country in Northern Scotland for the proof! 
As far as those who have polluted our waterways, it matters not a jot if they were the farmers, the water authorities or big business, if it was done deliberately then they have managed to damage systems to such an extent that they are the worst in Europe. 

Rocky.Have never been or participated in your Red coated Hunting.Never been or participated in Tame pheasant shooting -They are the action usually of rich city folk.Yes me and local farmers control the rampant fox and covid population.to an extent we have a thriving Red listed avian population here. Nothing to do with eliimination.

Mick-Yes the mistakesof the 70=s with mass sortwood planting all over the country,particularly the flow country did untold damage.Eliminated prductive and good habiatts for dark wildernesses. The resulting wood is of little commercial use but hey it gave the elites excellent tax benefits.

So just like today all this is driven by action groups influencing Government policy for some untested theory.Those at the sharp end are ignored because they dont have lobbying funds. Result short sighted action, changes of policy at whim, and a ruined countryside. Dont blame us the custodians

Is the NFU. not doing anything to help what in your opinions is detrimental to farmers? or as you post and a few may be "custodians of the countryside?"

Ps just a bit of useless information this county has more horses per head of population than any other  County in the UK
