Great video! Everything I hope to need to know in order to attempt a little patch in our garden. Bite size and like listening to a story ❤

Great how he has allowed the beekeeper to make use of the space and planting too for a peppercorn rent (or rather a honey jar rent)

You need an apprentice.

Brilliant April ! Your love for these plants is so infectious

4:20 Ive been eating amanita muscaria for 15 years sir.

I used to breed tropical cockroaches , made them little meals of fruit and vegetables , cat food etc . One day i brought a twig with Lychen , it was like i had just invented chocolate for my little critters .

i love this, it made me smile just by watching! will try it soon<3

Beautiful forests.

You should take a look at Argyll Scotland this type of habitat is everywhere . Our air is so clean you could drink it !!

Stop making the fact so public... They will visit it in hoards and ruin it.

Guiscliffe Woods near Pateley Bridge may be far from the coast but it is as close to a temperate rainforest as you will find. A real gem and well worth the visit.

I love my local hazelwood rainforest patch and volunteer there regularly. The lichens are amazing. Visiting on your own, sitting and immersing yourself is the best!

Interesting that you lay the hedge downhill. Most hedgelayers lay them uphill. Is there any reason for downhill laying?

Thank you Sir.🎉

How long do they last without mould or anything?

What is the name of this guy??? I love him! Is the third video I see with him but never found this info. Thanks ✌️

Thank you, Godbless

Thank you for all you are doing to protect our vulnerable population of Red Squirrels in Cumbria. I noticed a decline last time I visited Keswick Bridge. They used to be numerous, and last time I didn’t see a single one. Something has to be done if we are not to see them disappear from there, as they have done in most other places in England.

very good teacher

They're vermin. I remember when it was possible to go out an dispatch them pretty much anywhere in the UK, now, almost impossible. But hey we don't live in an authoritarian state do we...

Videos are useful and informative. Please reconsider the use of music - it doesn't add to the production values at all.

In the UK we have a problem with conservation, people in conservation won't accept the idea that species such as grey squirrel and magpie are contributing to the decline in bird species, they won't accept that control is necessary.

I trapped some grey squirrels, and told the boys' mother, "I'm going to take them to a farm in up state New York." Missing the Americanism, she observed, "Isn't that a long drive?"

Can i trap greys in a larsson trap in my back garden ? Theyve decimated the birds nests in my area ?

Brilliant demo

cool

Great video thanks

Your latest two videos are fantastic. This one is especially brilliant in that it covers everything from birds to sawmills - wide knowledge like this is something that is very rare.

That is a really fancy hand lens! April taught me everything I know about lichen, as I attended her introductory class at Nettlecombe court the other day.

What a wonderful effort putting up all those boxes, especially the woodcrete type which are so important for protection against squirrels and woodpeckers. I have put up a nestbox every year since the 1980s and very rarely do they not get used.👍

Excellent video, thank you

Good information, much appriciated. Thank you.

Lovely

We've added chapters to this video, did it help and would you prefer we continue to do so for future videos? Also comment what birds you love seeing in your woodland/garden!

Subscribed. Lucky Allan and Joe!!

Thank you!

How do you carry all the stuff???😮

Excellent video - thank you.

What a wonderful exposition. The passion and love for lichen really came through. Thanks very much for creating and sharing this.

Never knew…

Absolute gem of a video thank you

the open ground bertween trees is where your insects, flowers and real bio is

I use similar lichens to make clothing dye (steeped in stale urine) here in Canada. We have different names for the Usnia for example, and I am wondering how many common lichens we have between these two northern hemisphere countries. Thanks for encouraging me to bring a magnifying glass into the woods and for educating me on two lichens which I would have always thought were features of the tree rather than a separate species. The barnacles/ script.

Desperate Dan: I am an ex SAffer, who found these delightful "comics" in Zimbabwe in the 80's. Desperate Dan had an outsized square jaw replete with a good whisker growth at all times. Strong man portrayed in the series. Hence the name of that particular lichen :)

We have similar (or same) lichen here in California. Must be really old, like from Pangea to get around the world like that?

😊

It was very nice to meet you, Mrs. I felt great empathy for you and your interests. It would be good for someone to inherit this passion for tools from the past and this atmosphere. Congratulations and best regards 💖👋🥀.

Sexy lady

Great and simple design, thank you. What aspect do you fix the bat boxes and to what ? Thanks for sharing

Would love to identify lichen, I have a plantation which also contains many broad leaf, stream and rocks here in west of Ireland. It is abundant with lichen everywhere. Thanks for sharing
