So far the New Forest HLS has delivered 59 projects, totalling 29km of restoration to the New Forest watercourses that had previously been deepened or realigned. The restoration of the mires and streams has delivered reduced knickpoint erosion, reduced incision and lateral erosion, increased floodplain connection, increased resilience during times of drought, and reduced flood peaks.
Congratulations to the project partners: Forestry England, Verderers of the New Forest, the New Forest National Park Authority

Think Old World, think Alcea Family of malevolent, magnificent , flowering stages offering their productivity, fruitfulness, Riparian propensities to seed, germinate and take root as they offer their beneficial services as Native Species evolved from these spectacular Origins.

Great to see this happening. Well done to everyone involved.

Ode to the Hollyhawks, Alcea family, tall, elegant, columns of magnificent blooms, exotic perfumes of which I learn not to Foresake, evidentually local and endemic, do not panic as it is Organic, you know we have one here Native to North America so we can co-celebrate as we orient to Native Flora and Fauna to encourage the natural biota to continue and recheck Our Facultative Processes from headwater's to the Sea, alluvial bedload delliveries from alluvial recharge of Freshwater Aquatic Ecosystems.

When we look below the surface we see the New Forest is a horrifically over grazed and deforested landscape with poor quality manmade watercourses. It is so great to see some positive steps to help fix this, although with the overgrazing and 'rights' of common grazing, my aspirations are unfortunately very low.

It all comes down to gathering enough selling points for property owners/municipalities to jump onboard. Flood prevention may be desirable to insurance companies while the Tourism board would benefit from improved biodiversity,

Fantastic work. That makes me so happy. 😊😊

Sloths in South America drink water, travel over the canopy, harvesting the local and native fruits, nuts, berries, in the symbiotic relationship delivers and fosters the nutrient functions of yearly cyclic deliveries with and of freshwater in amounts and force to move bedloads, instream alluvial processes and dynamic driving forces interacting with the Marine conditions, salinity levels, lower reaches of the river from the headwater's to the Sea continuity in river morphology.

Downed woody debris is a vanguard to woody debris delivery, stretches across mediums or partly submerged slow water's toil, as the flood channel resists such change as adeptly as water facilitates all local Biota.

Excellent work here! Does anyone have any ideas to include introducing beavers 🦫 & wild boars 🐗 to assist & compliment these wonderful rewilding & conservation efforts now going on in areas of the New Forest & surrounding areas? It would be a prime draw for eco-tourism right on Bournemouth’s doorstep?!!!

I wish NZ posted more educational videos like this. It just dont hit learning about generic european ecosystems and tryna apply that knowledge to NZ. Europe is so barren compared to my country no offence😭 in Aotearoa we call that degraded and lacking vegetation and birdlife

Bring on the Beavers.

@mikemyers7721 Жыл бұрын

Beavers will help, probably planting some aspen tress would as well. As for over grazing, need an apex predator to sort that, wolf or lynx or both.

@hazza.sheesh3953 Жыл бұрын

It's a nice idea but not really practical in the New Forest especially because a lot of the grazing is done by people's horses and not deer.

Am I the only person to think the New Forest natural regeneration doesn't look good, There seem to be a lot of old trees but where are the younger trees, overgrazing?

What about the bank collapse that occurs in those bends after a flood? And all that dirt goes off to the oceans.

@richardparker7121 Жыл бұрын

Bank collapse is just natural course change, another bank would open somewhere nearby. All streams deposit silt, the ocean is a good place for it as part of a natural cycle. Where do you think the silt goes in straightened streams? In those type of human-altered waterways the silt has to be continuously dredged by people!

I find this type of one-sided video simplistic and even patronising. Every change in the physical environment has pros and cons, and where human settlements are involved, winners and losers. Why not present a more mature, honest and balanced analysis, as this smacks of one-sided propaganda.
