Wonderful to be invited to Belmont Estate for a guided tour through their recently established wetlands on around a third of their land.

In just a few years, what has been achieved by rewriggling a river (only 15 months old and gravel beds forming!), releasing Dartmoor ponies, Tamworth Pigs and Red Devon cattle as ecosystem engineers and allowing nature to 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 with no human intervention is incredible - all whilst still producing high quality food.

Starting with a biodiversity baseline of around 400 species, the last survey in October was over 2000 - In relative terms that is incredible and really does impress upon how quickly restoration can take place.

'𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚'.

The passion from Henry and Tamsin is inspiring, with thousands of children from the Bristol area and beyond being giving the opportunity to connect with nature for free is applauded.

Again, free, walks are hosted regularly by the informed, eloquent and equally inspiring Martin and Luke - we would highly recommend.. Only one hour from Cardiff.

Thanks so much for your hospitality and we look forward to catching up soon - Woop Woop!

[Even though it was a typical Winter overcast day, it did not detract in any way and can only imagine how alive it will be come Spring!]

Tir Natur is launching a transformative ecosystem restoration project that will inspire, educate and offer hope in the face of unprecedented biodiversity loss.

Picture a vibrant, thriving landscape, where ancient grazers roam freely and wildlife flourishes. Imagine wilder carbon systems and natural water management that protect both communities and farmland from flooding. This vision is within reach – but only with our support.

Newsflash! 🚨

You have helped smash our Crowdfunder stretch target and are enabling us to be even more ambitious!

In fewer than two weeks, you’ve raised an amazing £40,000 towards establishing Wales’ largest ecosystem restoration project and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support. The more we raise, the closer we get to securing a deposit and unlocking this piece of land for nature, and so with your help, we are now aiming to raise an additional £20,000.

Please consider making a donation. Until the New Year we have a £50,000 pot of match funding available, with donations of up to £250 being doubled with every extra penny contributing further to our land purchase.

To read more about the project or to make a gift, please visit our Crowdfunder page.
