Rewilding
Gordon Eaglesham
‘Rewilding is a simple concept: giving land back to wildlife and wildlife back to the land.
To rewild is to restore natural processes, revive degraded habitats, reintroduce species either missing or depleted, and then step back and watch as the ecosystem becomes self-willed and self-regulating once again in an alchemy of flux, dynamism and unpredictability.’

Ragwort - the only food source plant of the endangered Cinnabar Moth and 77 different species depend on it as a food source
