Backpack-wearing dogs enlisted to #rewild urban nature reserve in Lewes

Backpack-wearing dogs are being enlisted to “act like wolves” to help rewild an urban nature reserve in the East Sussex town of Lewes.

Before wolves were persecuted to extinction in the UK in about 1760, they were known to roam large areas, typically covering 12 miles (20km) or more each night.

In doing so, wolves would inadvertently pick up wildflower and grass seeds in their fur, dispersing them many miles away and helping establish new colonies of plants, which is vital for biodiversity and for ecosystems to thrive.

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.

Scotland could become the world’s first ‘rewilding nation’
