Fence photos are THE most graphic way of showing how effectively sheep kill nature.
No prizes for working out which side of this fence is grazed by sheep.
One side (my side) is exploding with wildflowers, self-seeded native trees, insects, and birdlife. The other is lifeless.
In the midst of an extinction crisis, there is now *zero* excuse. #Rewilding 🌎
