I am still buzzing from this opportunity for Austine and I to present some of our research work on rewilding to such a lovely and enthusiastic audience. It was so nice to see a diverse crowd, including past students and colleagues. Off the Ground, the hosting venue was excellent and packed, as I understand tickets sold out. I'll come back again when it is less busy!

Around *1/5* of all the species that live in a natural forest need dead wood. So no, it's not 'wasted' or 'untidy'. Even in your garden, spare a thought and leave it for them.

A decade ago, this was bare clay. Not rich humus, but sub-soil. It has since been naturally colonised by a diverse range of flora, including mosses, ferns, lichens, flowering plants, and tree species. The basis of rewilding is nature's inate, very powerful capacity to rebuild itself if we let it.

Rewilding relies on collaboration, so how do we make this happen? - British Ecological Society
The BES Rewilding Group explore how greater collaboration between researchers and practitioners can transform outcomes for nature and people.

Our @bes-rewildinggroup.bsky.social ran a series of online workshops asking three key questions: What are the opportunities for collaboration? How do we do it equitably and ethically? And how do we make it accessible?
If non-native species affect ecosystems, we need to demonstrate if and how these are negative impacts, rather than simply assuming they are because the species are non-native We made this point over 25 yrs ago, but still it has to be repeated besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
The impacts of non‐native species on UK biodiversity and the effectiveness of control
1. The introduction of non-native species continues to cause ecological concern globally, but there have been no published reviews of their effects in the UK. Impacts in the UK are therefore reviewe...
