ARTICLES DESIGNS, Reports and Presentations, & Research WILDLAND |
It is a self-willed land because plants and animals can thrive there, in their own unfettered communities. We have no true wilderness in Britain today. Natural woodland once covered over 70% of our land, but farming has displaced all that wildwood. Nowhere has been left untouched by people and their farming. Our hills and mountains are over-grazed, and our rivers and marshes constrained. We manage every landscape without leaving anything to natural forces. Wilderness and wildland should be important to us, just as it is in the South American rainforests, the Rocky Mountains in North America, or in the wildernesses of Australasia and South Africa. If you wish to learn more about this, then read some of the articles on this website. The articles look at:
