If you’re familiar with George Monbiot’s rewilding efforts, described in his book Feral (and presumably The Guardian articles as well), what do you feel, and what do you think?
My understanding is that the Welsh landscape has changed considerably over the past 800 years, in large part due to logging and sheep, and in its current state it is less resilient than it used to be; more erosion and less diversity of living things. I’m in favor of expanding beaver territory in the USA to change the land similar to what happened in Yellowstone, for example. I don’t have a long family history here, though, which makes it easier to daydream about culture shifts.
