Great things can be achieved by simply removing sheep grazing even over short timescales #woodlandrestoration #naturalregeneration #rewilding #peakdistrict

This was a sitka clearfell site in 2001.

Pond dug and walk away.

Nothing planted.

#naturalregeneration

At one of our projects in Scotland, #woodlandcreation is being delivered via #naturalregeneration instead of planting.

This reduces the #carbon released from the soil (during ground prep.) + saves on #plastic tree tubes.

The results are astounding. Just look at all that birch!

This is why woodland creation schemes must include #naturalregeneration ⬇️. 1000s of planted trees - all dead! While the self-seeded oaks growing between them were thriving! Nat regen = the right tree in the right place & no plastic tubes/pollution!

A four year rest from cattle grazing and voila ... the next generation of paddock trees secured, no plantings needed. #WildOz #naturalregeneration

🌿 NU members had a captivating nature walk at The Great Outdoors, Kalanamu, Gayaza, 🌳 witnessing incredible natural regeneration in this stunning landscape. 🌱 Let's continue to appreciate and protect our precious environment together! #GreatOutdoors #NaturalRegeneration 🌿✨

#NaturalColonisation IS different from #NaturalRegeneration 🌳🌳

Been out at Glen Feshie to see the regen’ & spend a night auditing with the #conservation team across the Wild Lands sites. Treated with a capercaillie sighting. Interesting to see what is happening on the ground. #naturalregeneration #landmanagement #Scotland

Another way to show the difference between #naturalregeneration and #naturalcolonisation - I'm often asked this question Forest Research Woodland Creation & Expansion Forest Research

Trees have been treeing for about 400,000,000 years.
They know what to do and where to do it. How about we just fuck off and leave them to it?

BIG NEWS!
From today, 100 hectares of farmland returns to the RSPB's direct management!
So, we're going to return this land to nature.
We will update you all on progress over the coming years. Watch this space!

Love coming across these rare places where pockets of native woodland are managing to reestablish themselves though natural regeneration #nativewoodland #uplands #naturalregeneration

A few thoughts on #NaturalRegeneration this Friday afternoon. Not a silver bullet, but useful nonetheless.

Just look at all that beautiful, scrubby, successional vegetation that is developing as part of this managed forest! 🥰

An epic day on Creag Meagaidh & so heartening to see burgeoning #naturalregeneration on the way to the summits
