Rewilding / Upland Farming / Native Breeds / Riggit Galloway / Pea Restoration / Slowing the Flow 

In this episode Tree Amble's Pete visits Kingsdale Head, a 1500 acre / 608 ha upland farm and natural regeneration project in the Yorkshire Dales. Owners Catherine Bryan and Tim Yetman discuss the challenging landscape and their ambitious plans to restore peatbogs as well as increase biodiversity and create a mosaic of habitats using native breed cattle to stimulate natural function. 

The project is focussed on extensive peatland restoration, rewetting the area so the site can store more carbon, water and ultimately support widespread natural regeneration. Kingsdale has a site manager who looks after the cattle and has become an excellent dry stone waller. 

Kingsdale Head is the final episode of Series One of Tree Amble. We have a couple of specials - Carbon Calling (out now) and Saving Scotland's Rainforest (coming soon!) before we commence Series Two in October!!
