Fascinating thread on an overlooked form of rewilding. And combines acknowledging the skill and effort of past inhabitants without being beholden to it. We have heritagised much of the landscape that field drains created, but maintaining that landscape in a changing climate has wider consequences

Please be aware of this new role that’s being touted as a medical role. A PA is a physician assistant, NOT a doctor. There could be a place for this, but it is not for undiagnosed patients.
