Around 120 million hectares of land have ceased being farmed in Europe since 1990, part of a global phenomenon.
This is often a *godsend* for nature, as land naturally rewilds.
But experience is showing it would be best if local communities stayed actively involved.

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.
We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better.
It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍
