This week, with the Large Herbivore Working Group, I am visiting some of the most inspiring European Bison projects in Spain.
A huge thank you to Fernando Morán for guiding us through these landscapes and for sharing both the challenges and successes of the work here.

My office and home for the next few days. Looking forward to If Not Now When, Rewilding conference at Rewilding Coombshead.
It’s so important to meet up with the rewilding community and support each other in our work to restore species and biodiversity.

Amazing rare sunny day yesterday at Purbeck Heath. Wonderful partnership between Natural England, National Trust and RSPB. Big connected landscape with some large herbivores. Huge future potential to make it wilder!
