Walk on the Wild Side: Rewilding our environment would take us back to a healthier balance, restoring lost natural food chains
Have you ever wondered why most deciduous trees can resprout from wherever the trunk is broken? How they can withstand the extraordinary amount of damage done to them − hacking, splitting, twisting, trampling − when a hedge is laid?
