Acquisition of land for wildlife

Court Farm land
Court Farm land by Rob Farrington
Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) have followed our example and purchased agricultural land with the purpose of returning it to nature and allowing wildlife to "regenerate, spread and thrive".
We, admittedly have only 11 acres, whilst the Bere Regis site is 420 acres (170ha in new money), but the principle is the same. Take some underused, unproductive or obsolete land and do something glorious with it.
Read the Press Release here.
Listening to the radio this morning, there was a report on the future shortage of farmers willing to farm the land. With the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) proving  unsustainable Post-Brexit, there may be an opportunity for conservationists and like-minded people to purchase available agricultural land for the purpose of regeneration (seemingly the current, and  less contentious, word for rewilding). There may be many more Squire's Downs in years to come.

What is RSS?

Picture
Really Simple Syndication refers to XML files, easily read by a computer, that automatically update information. In real time an RSS feed updates you with events and changes on your favourite websites, blogs and podcasts, all in one place.

However, you cannot read the update feed without a feed reader. These are apps that go by names such as: Feedly, Feedreader, Feedspot, Flipboard and many more.

How to set up an RSS feed.
This may look complicated but it’s not. (This example is for Feedly:
  1. Copy the URL of an RSS feed (click on the logo RSS Feed at the bottom of the right hand column = https://www.conservationactionuk.org/1/feed).
  2. Paste the URL in the Feedly Search box and select the RSS feed from the list of sources.
  3. Select Follow.
  4. Select New Feed.
  5. Enter a descriptive name for the feed (e.g. Birds and Conservation).
  6. Select Create.
  7. In the left pane, select the RSS feed.
  8. Select the content you want to read.
