					<description><![CDATA[This post is about what&#8217;s described as &#8220;Wales&#8217; largest rewilding site&#8220;. I suspect it&#8217;s about more than &#8216;rewilding&#8217;. Because there&#8217;s usually big money involved with &#8216;environmental&#8217; schemes nowadays. ◊ TIR NATUR: WHO&#8217;S WHO? I&#8217;ve written about this outfit a few times in recent years.

					<description><![CDATA[In a sense, this is a follow-up to last week&#8217;s offering, Budget Boost For Rewilders And Globalists. This week, I&#8217;m looking at an example of &#8216;rewilding&#8217; which, on closer inspection, turns out to be a tourism business &#8211; receiving funding for posing as a rewilding project.

I&#8217;m writing about it again because my attention has been drawn to what might be a major development. Which coincides with the UK government&#8217;s decision to make most family farms liable for punitive &#8230; <p><a href="https://jacothenorth.net/blog/budget-boost-for-rewilders-and-globalists/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Budget Boost For Rewilders And Globalists</span></a></p>]]></description>

I apologise for this piece being a bit long, but it&#8217;s still less than 2,800 words. And worth sticking with. ◊ &#8230; <p><a href="https://jacothenorth.net/blog/welsh-government-declares-war-on-freedoms-motorists-farmers/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">&#8216;Welsh Government&#8217; Declares War On Freedoms, Motorists, Farmers</span></a></p>]]></description>
