Our Strange Plan to Fully Rewild This River

Video Description

We've got a really exciting opportunity to begin reviving this river. On Glassie Farm, part of the Northwoods Rewilding Network, we are focusing our efforts to restoring the riparian zone and all the small creatures within it. A habitat which is crucial for biodiversity and our approach to do so is quite exciting. In this episode we're gearing up to begin constructing our fake beaver dams which we hope will have a huge impact later this year. 🌾 If you think this project is worth supporting then be sure to check out the Mossy Earth Membership: https://mossy.earth 🙌 Subscribe to Mossy Earth: https://www.youtube.com/c/MossyEarth?sub_confirmation=1 START REWILDING OUR PLANET TODAY =============================== With us, you will restore nature and fight climate change every month 🌲 Plant native trees to capture carbon 🐺 Rewild habitats to support biodiversity 🦫 Support underfunded species and ecosystems Learn more and become a member here: https://mossy.earth 💪 OUR PARTNERS IN THIS VIDEO =============================== Northwoods - https://www.scotlandbigpicture.com/northwoods Glassie - https://www.thebunkhouse.co.uk/ ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 0:00 Intro 0:41 The Problem 5:18 Our Plan 6:19 Our Work so far 9:20 The Future 🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT =============================== Beavers have rightly claimed a lot of accolades in the recent rewilding movement for their central role in restoring riparian areas. The dams they engineer create habitats, filter water and help mitigate flood damage and droughts. For degraded riparian areas devoid of trees and beavers, artificial structures called Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) are being used to mimic the effects of beaver dams. This is the case for our latest project in Scotland at Glassie Farm, a member of the Northwoods Rewilding Network (NRN). Habitat degradation, pollution and rising water temperatures are threatening a host of important native species. In partnership with River Revivers, we’re building BDAs and planting native trees and scrub to create habitat, help improve water quality, stabilise water temperature and mitigate flood damage.
