The mob that munches and moves on. Using moveable fences, Farmer Erik Riddell shifts his herd regularly, in a tight group. It's called mob grazing: dung and urine feed the soil and deep-rooted vegetation is given time to rest and recover, before the herd comes back for more. #RegenerativeFarming

When a storm hits the coast at Tayvallich, three habitats take the impact. Oyster bed, seagrass, saltmarsh. We approach the monitoring and restoration of all three as deeply interconnected within Tayvallich's coastal ecosystem. David Smyth, Marine Rewilding Lead explains. #NationalMarineWeek

At Highlands Rewilding, we are celebrating #Worldoysterday. In and around Loch Sween, native oysters are protected by law. Hand gathering is an offence. Every shell left on the seabed is one more chance for the population to recover. #NativeOysters #Rewilding #nationalmarineweek

Rewilding isn't a side project of the climate fight. It is the fight. This great man makes the case plainly: "the rewilding of the world will suck enormous amounts of carbon from the air and lock it away in expanding wilderness.” That's not a hope, it's an observed pattern across ecosystems.

Every spring, male lambs are castrated to avoid unwanted pregnancies. It is routine sheep husbandry, but how it is done matters. In May, Farm Manager Erik Riddell trialled ClipFitter, a Scottish invention that applies a clip to crush the cords, nerves and blood supply. #RegenerativeFarming

Crush the stem in multiple places, at the right moment and the sap cannot return to the rhizome. It oozes out, the plant weakens, and it slowly loses the ambition to grow back. Roll it now. Hit it again in late summer. The result is happy cows and good grazing. #BrackenControl #rewilding

The job of Estate Manager at Tayvallich is varied. Last week saw Ewan Paterson fitting in a bit of bracken rolling. Bracken, left to its own devices, can become a bit of a headache. It crowds out grasses and rules out grazing. The solution? An ATV, a heavy roller, and a bit of plant biology.

Why did we microwave the gorse? When you clear land for new woodland, you release the carbon stored in what you removed. But how much? Almost no UK measurements of gorse had been made, until now. Clearance here was planned carefully, outside the bird breeding season.

Sheep at Tayvallich are playing their role in nature recovery, helping wintering geese find the food they need to thrive. By grazing the grass to just the right height, they keep the land perfect for these migratory visitors. On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay watch the full story, first shown in Oct 2025
