Farming v rewilding: the battle for Borrowdale in the Lake District
Some locals say it is time for farmers and their landlords, including the National Trust, to make more space for nature.
Borrowdale in the Lake District, where the National Trust outbid locals to buy Thorneythwaite Farm. The trust planned to manage the farm in a pro-nature way but residents in the valley are saying it’s in a worse state now.
With its rugged crags, wood-lined valley sides and stone wall-fringed pastures, Borrowdale for many visitors is the most picturesque valley of the Lake District. But there are concerns that the way this landscape has been farmed in recent decades is pushing its wildlife into severe decline.

The NT planned to manage the farm in a pro-nature way but residents in the valley are saying it’s actually in a worse state now.

Farming v rewilding: the battle for Borrowdale in the Lake District
Some locals say it is time for farmers and their landlords, including the National Trust, to make more space for nature.

Rewinding 100 years: the Devon neighbours who united to rewild on a grand scale.
A forester, a farmer and a child psychologist have formed a pioneering group to bring even more nature back to their valley.
Rewilding Britain is encouraging farmers to cluster up because operating over a larger area means they can support more wildlife and provide better ecosystem services, such as storing carbon and preventing the risk of flooding.
The government says it will pay farmers to make environmental improvements as part of a new subsidy system, but some funding, such as the Landscape Recovery scheme, will be available only to farms of 500 hectares or more looking to create woodlands, restore rivers and wetlands.
"The government wants farmers and landowners to cluster up. So this is exactly in line with future policy," says Prof Alastair Driver, director of Rewilding Britain. "We'd love to see more of it."

A forester, a farmer and a child psychologist have formed a pioneering group to bring even more nature back to their valley.
Rewilding Britain is encouraging farmers to cluster up because operating over a larger area means they can support more wildlife and provide better ecosystem services, such as storing carbon and preventing the risk of flooding.
The government says it will pay farmers to make environmental improvements as part of a new subsidy system, but some funding, such as the Landscape Recovery scheme, will be available only to farms of 500 hectares or more looking to create woodlands, restore rivers and wetlands.
"The government wants farmers and landowners to cluster up. So this is exactly in line with future policy," says Prof Alastair Driver, director of Rewilding Britain. "We'd love to see more of it."
