Our new film about our Dartmoor farmers and the wildlife they help has just been released in collaboration with SFT. Check it out - and their report on sustainable livestock grazing.
🎬 A new film by @FarmWilder, produced with support from the SFT and narrated by @theAliceRoberts, tells the story of how three farmers in Dartmoor National Park are using their cattle and sheep to farm more sustainably.

This Wednesday we sent a letter to Defra Director General for Strategy and Water David Hill and Farming and Countryside Programme Director Janet Hughes.
We urge a review of the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) action for Herbal Leys (CSAM3).

To grow food, we need nature. The UK Government must increase investment in nature friendly farming. #NatureCantWait

Councils not only don't have the money to pay for Ragwort removal, but have also realised that Ragwort is a native wild plant which is very valuable to other wildlife. Growing on road verges it creates no risk to livestock. Other landowners still hoik it out, mainly for PR though

Amazing how much benefit to nature on farms the ELMS subsidies have achieved. We’ve taken back control of our farming policy - the only positive from Brexit that I’ve seen so far. theguardian.com/environment/…

Not seen any butterflies yet in the #BigButterflyCount?
While it might be disappointing, it's just as important for us to know where there aren't butterflies, as well as where there are. 🦋

Meet Sam Bullingham, one of our brilliant farmers. This short film is about his Fair to Nature certified Devon farm and how he’s restoring biodiversity. @FairtoNature @Natures_Voice

An authorised massacre of Switzerland’s fragile wolf population has been taking place this year, at the behest of livestock farmers who swear that their losses are unacceptable (their losses are in fact minuscule). Well, DNA analysis of 50 wolves killed so far shows that not a single one of them had killed any livestock at all. Zero. The whole thing is an evil farce. And yet legal farmer-led killing of wildlife is spreading fast across Europe. Join a European environment group today and help stop this. blick.ch/fr/news/suisse/des-…

We made this film about Andy Gray and his Fair to Nature certified farm. Incredible flocks of thousands of linnets.

I meet many non-farming groups & often ask them what % of emissions they think come from Ag.
Response always 50-80% ‘because that’s the impression we get from media’. (Real figure c.10%).
So dangerous, as society then ignores the real issue it needs to face - fossil fuels.

I'm hosting a new series with @BeaverTrust about the wonderful world of beavers! If you have questions about their biology, ecology, behaviour and impacts then this is the place to go! It's great to have them back where they belong. Let's continue to reintroduce and strengthen the landscape.

Please sign this petition to save a beautiful wildflower meadow from being turned into a massive commercial allotment with parking for 70 cars. It’s next to Leigh Woods National Nature Reserve and SSSI so an important part of the wider ecosystem.

I love that Cat is both an amazing artist and a Dartmoor Farm Wilder farmer.
Did a commission I can show now it’s got to its new owner.

The food system is not working for farmers, nature or the climate. "We need better policy so that all farmers can move to resilient, nature-friendly farming" says @vickihird in our new blog. Read now 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/blog/vick…

I’m interested in workable solutions for people and planet - as I wrote about the last chapter of my book, #Tamed. That’s why, for the last few years I’ve been supporting the non-profit @FarmWilder, encouraging farmers in the SW to rear animals more sustainably. Their farmers are restoring lost wildflower meadows and hedgerows and planting thousands of trees. Please support this more wildlife friendly way of farming by buying their meat from farmwilder.co.uk

I think so important that the clear differences between high- & low-intensity farming practices are understood.
@FarmWilder and @NFFNUK are doing good work. “Eat less but eat better meat”, seems a good plan.
