Добавлен 3 мар 2009
Dorset Wildlife Trust is the largest conservation charity in Dorset with over 27,000 members and provides a multitude of ways that people can get involved in wildlife and conservation at a local level. Volunteer roles range from helping with practical conservation tasks and organising community events to working in our visitor centres and taking photographs. The videos on this channel will give you a taste of what we do to protect Dorset's wildlife and wild places, and the conservation projects we are working on locally.
Lyscombe
In partnership with Natural England and private donors, Dorset Wildlife Trust has acquired 335 hectares (827 acres) of chalk downland, grassland, wildflower meadows and ancient woodland at Lyscombe, 10 miles north-east of Dorchester. Rob Farrington explains how Lyscombe represents an exciting opportunity to make more space for nature in the Dorset landscape, to showcase sustainable land management through natural regeneration and to engage people in the rich heritage of Dorset’s downland.

Passers by, on their way to the Town Centre, stop and admire the wildflowers. They are encouraged to pick fruit and vegetables or to sit and gaze at butterflies and listen to bees and other insects...

What a magnificent attitude from everyone. Best of luck.
And Brownsea Island is the founding location of the Boy Scouting movement.
Super video and great to be updated. Thank you!😊
Beavers?
It’s impressive even now, imagine what it will be like 5 years from now.
Lyscombe, the Knepp southern block of Dorset ❤
Thank you for the update!
This is the most lovely, thrilling video. Thank you so much! My skin tingled all over when the thunder and rain started, and it feels like waking up hope. Thank you, thank you.
❤❤❤
amazing work guys, top job
4:57 What's the name of this flower (variety)? Thanks.
I fished the Piddle but I was a novice. Beautiful countryside famed Dorset.
Very impressed by these folks
Absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏼 4 or 5 of these in each county 🙏🏼 😴 Terrific work 👏🏼 👍🏼
My thoughts exactly Charlie. I'm disappointed that some of the big conservation charities are not buying farms to replicate this approach.👍
Great project, lovely film - very inspiring. I hope other county Wildlife Trusts are following suit with this approach.
Truly wonderful project.
Community food growing is a great project. Fantastic video. Keep up the good work.
I live in South Africa I see the same issues of not seeing insects, birds, lizards, tortoises and frogs in gardens that we had growing up. Mass extinction in real time. Gardens are just lawns and invasive trees. I rewilded my garden with native plants and added a pond and am seeing insects, lizards and bats that I havent seen in 2 decades. Wish all humans could wake up and realise that we need to share this planet💔
Instead of using the digger you should have introduced beaver!
Need water first
Wonderful!! Yep, let’s roll this out all over the place. There is good evidence that the tide is turning…finally!! ❤
haha when he falls you can hear a bird as if its laughing at the beaver
Bravo. Great work and lovely storytelling.
Wonderful to see such a hopeful and well-told story. I'm excited to visit the next time I'm down that way.
Thought this was excellent up until the grazing was mentioned, so never meant to ever be a complete ecosystem with predators etc. Using it instead to social-wash animal ag and continuation of making ourselves the ( unnatural) predator. Not learning anything just copying the past, we are not predatory animals and by acting as if we are precludes the land of the natural & native predators. Oh well at least we have the Vegan Land Movement(VLM) !. 🌻✊🏽🌎
Thousands of years with herds moving through is how these lands evolved. Ruminants kept in tight bunches and moved daily mimics the herding pattern that existed for a millennia. Amazing things happen to the land over 2-3 years of this correct grazing - native plant species return making the land more drought resistant, manure and urine brings more beneficial bacteria and build topsoil, and the grasses they eat explode with growth as they are getting pruned every 90 days. See Alan Savory for more info.
The landscape needs grazers. Grazers are a necessary management aspect of a dynamic landscape. They stop the landscape reverting to dense woodland that would shut out a lot of species. Ideally you need apex predators to keep the grazers on the move to keep them from grazing any one area too much. Without those predators that becomes a part we have to play. We have to move grazers place to place and stop their numbers spiraling, and we have to do it respectfully.
Great work 💚
This is incredible well done everyone, incredible to see how quick nature bounces back . I have re-wilded my garden from 2 plain grass gardens when i moved in last year, added lots of native hedging, wildflower meadow as my front garden and a pond and nature was thriving. this is great to see especially all the birds and mice.
Hi from Montreal! I'm a chick forest technician, majored in sylviculture and re-wild the place, I'll bet that soil's far from low grade to nature, you rock!
Also if they could take some fat balls or even make some delicious suet treats and take them to the countryside to leave around for their fellow creatures that would be better than getting them to feast their egos in taking from the countryside.
Sorry to add a sour note, but the phrase "denuding the countryside" springs to mind. If the children were told to collect all the acorns count them and then leave two thirds of the acorns on the ground that would teach the children to think of the animals needing the food. I loathe the Sunday supplements telling their middle class readers to forage in the countryside. As if they haven't ravaged it all already!
You have no idea if they talked about leaving acorns for foraging. I think it’s probably safe to give them the benefit of the doubt based on the rest of the video. Also, there are thousands of acorns and a gaggle of six year olds isn’t going to collect more than 100 at best. And of those 100, half of them are floaters and won’t grow a tree. I think it’s better to engage the kids as best you can at their age group. Describing this little project as, “denuding the countryside”, is inaccurate, alarmist and silly.
This is the sort of film which should be on Countryfile or Springwatch.
Get some Beavers on that river! Plant Aspen Willow and Alder!
Indeed!
With LIDAR can you still see old channels or has the land been plowed for too long? Or is that the ‘computer analysis’?
I’ve just read the book about the rewilding of the Knepp Estate. It’s great to see that this kind of conservation is taking root after the huge success of that project. Hugely inspiring and heartwarming.
Excellent work 🙏
What a great project, I would love to see this in many other parts of the country.
Talk about a cuteness overload lol
Awww, sooooo cute and sooo fluffy
Thanks Julia
❤
Hows the flooding in Dorset?
Look at those cute ears. What a sweet little mouse.❤
Love this project!! I live in Scotland, however, this continuing out-rolling of landscape restoration is a joy to behold no matter where it is carried out. It’s a veritable unfurling of nature’s rich tapestry and a renewed opportunity for wildlife to recover and thrive. Call it Rewilding or a reawakening, who cares…it is wholly a good thing and the right thing to do!! Let’s get it all joined up across the whole of the British Isles and throughout the entire globe!! ❤🥰❤️
So smol! So plush! So fast tiny breaths! ❤
It is K.O., that little fellow was sawing logs. Awesome!
Absolute heroes
This was back before every river and stream in the UK became choked with raw sewage!
