https://mastodon.art/@JonathanBlackmore/110604629397520116 JonathanBlackmore@mastodon.art - This petition asks Prince William to rewild his land on #Dartmoor, to help extend the "temperate rainforest". There are tiny pockets of woodland, where oak trees are festooned with lichens, mosses and ferns, but these are all enclosed by fences, and surrounded by overgrazed land. There's currently no possibility of expansion. Please sign if you can...
Most of our national parks seem to be managed for the benefit of wealthy landowners, not nature.
Last one on the #Dartmoor theme for today. #DartmoorPonies roam wild on the #moor and are free to do so as they are a protected species. They will usually leave people alone but they will defend themselves by biting or kicking if provoked. It's wise to keep a respectful distance from them.
Another week on #Dartmoor and another #dam and #spillway. This one is from #Venford #reservoir and is quite an unusual dam constructed of #masonry. It was opened in the first decade of the twentieth century. A couple of decades ago, work was done to ensure the spillway could handle flood events of increasing magnitude as a result of #GlobalWarming. As you can see there was some flow today over it.
#Dartmoor in #springtime. The landscape of Dartmoor is quite varied although it is geologically a #granite intrusion into the Earth's crust it has been shaped by weathering, erosion and human intervention, such as #agriculture and #forestry. Here we see a #river #valley in the background and a #TreeStump in the foreground. The weather was as benign as can be expected there as you can tell by the blue #sky and light clouds.

Guy Shrubsole #Dartmoor #Wild #Camping mix: ‘A #Catastrophe’ says Headmaster Landowner
I did a short #hike in #Dartmoor yesterday. The wind was gusting to over 70 km/h and it was sometimes difficult to stay upright. The weather was very changeable and so we made sure that we were prepared with full waterproof attire, a map in a transparent sealed waterproof case.and some food and hot drinks for this #winter #excursion. Even for a brief trip, perhaps an hour and a half in duration, planning is important. In the photograph you can see the #BirchTor which we'd just been on from a couple of km distance.
The #geology of this #NationalPark is based on the #exposure of #weathered #Granite and #Tors are #outcrops found at the summit of #hills.

A couple of km away from the previous #photograph, you can see some quite lush #vegeation in #Dartmoor.

I've just been reviewing some #photographs from a few years ago. Here is one of somewhere on #Dartmoor, near #Hexworthy. I like the rather bleak beauty of the place with scant but hardy vegetation in the exposed areas. The #geology is that of weathered #granite which develop into #tors.
