woof but i would say that
he seems to have a similar attitude to myself re uplands and sheep, general "rewilding" and environmental improvement
if you don't ask they can't say no, that works with loads of little and larger things
if you tell them, they may do as they are told if they are given no other option apart from your choice of carrot to go with the stick
wolves are ace* and would fit into some rewilded places a treat
if they can pretend to be dogs they are quite urbane bon viveurs in an urban setting, part wolf, even mostly wolf, can easily pass for a dog, i met one full who was no bother to walk off a lead through streatham with my half on the other heel, , so cool a well known local supermodel would stop for a chat with a crusty with mutts
* a tail from the darkside of wolf lore, first hand account made the starving wolves more scary than the nazi hunter teams when wounded and evading in a Norwegian winter.
apparently the wolves were far more determined and stayed with him24 hrs longer and into Sweden where he lost them in the first village |

having seen the dismal acres of dead whips in tubes and ignorant destruction of grassland diversity by "experts", i have mixed feelings about them
some are experts, most are doing a job they are not expert in
as to getting things done, doing them is far better than asking quango to consider them
shall i explain about having to insist a national park authority actually did what it said it should do in its foundation documents? i hope the national trust are letting that no longer at risk site remain "un-managed"
the useful experts were the archeologists, the bat people, the moss people and the lawyers and assorted concerned citizens
my little temperate rain forest? and many random glades, diversification of species, introduction of suitable species, captive raise for release with phibs etc ?
i dont mind giving panda beetle wardens or friends of the meadow a bit of help, they do need it, even basics like fencing pliers and choppy tools were beyond their practical experience, nice folk no idea how to cut reeds when chest deep in waders to open up the best bit for the damselflies away from terrestrial predators that get them on marginal plants as they dry out from hatch
knowing the place well counts a lot more than files and directives
trying to get such things "permitted" brings out the trooper in me, it needs doing, shall we give it a go?
there are two small orchards,(and one with an informal above head height pruning arrangement which is where i should have started and developed from) the effort could have done far more good than several years of official and less official negotiations
official has not got clones of two un-named(see official)old apples in its very diverse 7x2m yard, which is also home to a full food chain up to cat 4 avian, grin coming to dine is rather special and did not require any permissions to make it very untidy with crevices and mess and stuff, you have seen the wildlife pictures, imagine that scaled up and suitable for the locations available |

that's how he comes over to me.
I keep saying it, but I worry about good pasture land, or other agricultural land being removed from being productive in order to re-wild, without much consideration from where our food will come from. If not here, then from elsewhere, where they might be taking down rainforests to grow crops to transport miles to feed us.
That is rewilding here and deforesting there.
He might be smug about his piles of concrete offering a good habitat for adders, but I presume he also eats like the rest of us, so presumably he gets to be smug whilst letting someone else do the actual farming.
I don't like people who don't feel they need to listen to anyone else, and just go ahead and rewild or introduce species *to land they don't own* without proper agreement.
*edit to clarify I meant about people releasing wildlife or plant species to land that they don't own or manage
