I'm absolutely shocked that this account has less than 1k subscribers. These videos are so well made.
Appreciate that, thank you! ☺️✌️🌿
that is because the concept is largely tripe and misses the route cause - target of new build houses per annum 34,000. Think about it !!
@@rogermason6808 are you saying the government's aim is to build 34k new houses a year? Land management is contextual. There'd never be houses built out here, the location of the video, the risk of flooding is too high & infrastructure is extremely poor. Not all land is suitable for rewilding, but having a payment scheme in place to support landowners who can do it, I don't see how that's tripe? Also, it's worth bearing in mind that residential builds can & most likely will be built vertically to make efficient use of the space & there'll be in our cities too where opportunity & infrastructure is already in place.
That estate(ecotourism) only makes money because it is unique, if it was a common thing they wouldn't make much profit if any.
I disagree, there’s room for many more to build on what Knepp have done and create new and exciting ways to engage with nature. Putting rewilding at the heart of an ecotourism is just the beginning.
It’s horrible not seeing any natural trees or hedgerows
Agreed…rather sad really
Yeah its rather bleak ...
Apologies for the delay in upload, I typically like to get a video out every week or two but this was three. I wanted to try some new things with this video and I'm working on some other content for the channel. Thanks for your supporting, liking, commenting, subscribing and general all-round awesomeness. 🌿
Great ideo, important topic, well done :) any chance you could make one about making smaller patches of land profitable? Something closer to a smallholding or even a large backgarden would be really interesting and relatable.
Yeah great idea, ill do that :)
Another consideration is that wallin
(Oops wrong button) these areas of coast off from the sea taxes the flood defences of London more. The Thames estuary is a funnel and storm surge that isn't absorbed by the Kent and Essex coasts is added to that making a run at the Thames barrier.
Yes that funneling needs to be relieved a little bit, in almost all of the UKs water ways
A home run you’ve once again knocked the positives of re wilding … this salt marsh out of the Park ! - Bravo
thank you very much, pleased you enjoyed it 😀
Just love your vids bro, so good
ah cookie thanks bro appreciate it ✌
Great video again dude.
Even if every landowner gave up one field what a difference that would make
Yeah 100% 🌿🌿
I've read that salt marshes and peat bogs sequester far more carbon than forests. Also, trees don't become even carbon neutral until they're about 20 years old. So more salt marshes may be a faster way to sequester carbon that tree planting. (Not to mention the pleasure salt marshes give to bird watchers!)
I have been thinking about buying a massive plot of land in the countryside to build a house on and to build some other things for leisure activities i am also hoping to grow all fruit and vegetables on the land and collect rainwater and for electricity water wheels/solar panels/wind turbines so the land is as sustainable as possible I have even thought about building some log cabins that would be rented out so people can experience living in the wild countryside as the aim would be to make it more wild than the generic countryside but to achieve this i need to work out a good way to make money from the land
This sounds great!! Let me know if you ever go for it!
Love all the little steps people are taking to help the earth. I'm just hoping that it's not too late. This year was the hottest ever recorded, including the ocean temperatures. 🌊
Great information and program. Will follow the progress.
How much do the landowners make from growing cereals? Flat reclaimed land is generally very productive - average UK Wheat yield is 7.8 t per ha. Prices are v high at the minute but an average of £140 t would be reasonable.
So your 972ha area would yield £1.15m from a wheat crop (minus the inputs - but rewilding also has input costs), of course you can't grow wheat every year but there would be profits from other crops
Also eco-tourism? I can see that Knapp valley can generate a good income, but would there be a limit as there are only so many eco-tourists?
Yeah - I think that land is very productive, its intensively managed - maybe this land isn't best suited to rewilding, but it can certainly benefit from regenerative techniques.
this sounds like a great plan but how would we pay for it all?
Oh it be government funded. Budget required I don’t know, but a small start can always be made
Awesome video mate. Your videos are so well structured and your points so well argued and presented. Really outstanding work. You deserve way more views - this is superb stuff!
Appreciate the kind words thank you - ill keep making more! happy to be reaching some more people!
Brilliant concept to assign a CO2 value and apply it against land in the scope of the project. In the US we have vast areas of land owned by National Parks and the department of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) that our general population is lulled into a false sense of security. I am one of those travelers who spend my dollars outside of the big cities and hike in nature. The concept of Eco dollars is totally valid. Keep up the good fight for Eco restoration.
Thanks Mark G!
Please talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress
Ooo perhaps for a future video!
inspirational!
Pleased you enjoyed the video!
Please keep Tillingham's 2nd cricket pitch though! Top video though, I'm up for this and I've subscribed. I guess if the bloke who owns the cricket pitch wants to re-wild it, I'll go with that, it's for the better. Be great if this could happen. I know some farmers in another part of the country that find it hard to make a living and over the last 30 years or so, they've diversified into tourism and set up probably one of the best campsites in the UK and it makes them so much money and they're just going from strength to strength, so the whole idea of re-wilding and then drawing in tourists I reckon makes total sense looking in from the outside. Not being a farmer, I don't know the details, but from my experience watching my farmer friends it definitely looks possible and they employ so many local people during the season as well others who have to do maintenance etc. On a bigger picture point, if London is going to survive higher sea levels, it needs these marshes opened up and functioning as they should to absorb any repeat of the surge that was seen in the 1950's, if that happens anytime now, the Thames barrier is unlikely to do what it supposed to do and will fail, I think it already looks sketchy on big spring tides when the pressure is in the wrong place.
Then freaking do it bud ! Buy some land rewild it and be the example.
Gotta gain some more capital first, but its certainly on my list 🌿
@@LeaveCurious me and a friend of mine are buying some old farmland in the Midwest USA and letting it return to grasslands/prairie.
@@TacticalCaveman997 nice, what size is the land?
It's criminal in England. There could be 1000's of Km with hedgerows. Bush and trees.
Un gran proyecto, té felicito y ánimo 🤝
gracias, veamos que pasa! 🌿
Yes another vid(road to 1k subs yay)
hahah yeah we're nearly there!!
brilliant video as per usual
Thank you 🙏 🌿
Well done bro x
tyvm beaks x🌿
nice vids did shame you dont have more subs production quality is nicw
Ah nice one, appreciate it. We're growing more everyday!
i just cant get my head around this, co2 as a greenhouse gas. i know its a gas used inside greenhouses, but not to heat them. but to encourage plant growth. and without it plants die. at what point will we need to start adding more co2 to the atmosphere to continue with a green planet.
great video by the way.
Sea level hasn’t risen a single inch
woah cool
✌️✌️🌿🌿

I think we need to strike a balance between rewilding and efficient food production, while I agree low productivity farmland should be rewilded high productivity land should be made more efficient using GMO's and adopting techniques from the netherlands.
Native food production is important to ensure we aren't importing more than we need, and especially in trying to reduce costs of living.
yeah agreed - its about ensuring all needs are met. good thing about the UK is that they can do so much
2000 tons of carbon sequestered a year?
hmmm...
1,850,000,000,000,000,000 tons of carbon on Earth. That's 1.85 quintillion tons of carbon. This net zero stuff is la-la-land stuff.
I think we should take the wild animal and harmony perspective more seriously, mention it more. The point of new species arriving at Wallasey isalnd isn't really about wildlife enthusiasts to look at... it's for the new species to live and exist and have a more harmonious and balanced planet. We don't accept bullying in a playground we shouldn't accept bullying of wildlife.
Have you ever tried eating a tree 😂
The early spring leaves of limetree make a good salad & obviously many, many fruits & nuts!
@@LeaveCurious well, that's really going to feed the world isn't it 😂
There is a slight issue with what you just said what do the farmers do when the land is restored as than you back at the start as they need some way of making money out of it for ever
The payments would be annually. This isn’t something that farmers have to do on all their land, just a proportion of it.
