{"product_id":"renaturing-by-james-canton","title":"Renaturing - By James Canton","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwenty years ago, James Canton moved from London to the English countryside. Behind his farm labourer's cottage was a small field with a 'for sale' sign. At first it was a site for family picnics and cricket matches with friends, but James knew that the two-acre patch of earth held more potential - as a place for nature to return and flourish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere is the story of how, over a number of years, he undertook a project to 'rewild' the field: digging a pond, forging meadowlands, creating habitats for birds and insects, encouraging flowers and plants that support pollinators and wildlife. Eventually what was once just a grassy space was again buzzing with life. The process raised some interesting questions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRewilding is about bringing a large landscape back to a natural, self-sustaining state. But that wasn't possible on the scale of a field, a garden or a window box. What if we rethought the term? What if we aimed for 'renaturing' instead? Even on the smallest of scales we can create habitats to support a greater diversity of nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA single window box planted with pollinator-friendly flowers can provide a mini-habitat to support honeybees; a tower block with a window box on every balcony becomes an acre of bee-friendly ecosystem. Renaturing shows how the concept of rewilding can be adopted by us all. We can all make positive change, however large or small.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe can all be involved in caring for and restoring the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eH 221mm x W 144mm x D 27mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e256 Pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524896756053,"sku":"","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/4677\/4101\/files\/Renaturing.jpg?v=1743425845","url":"https:\/\/www.wildfungarium.com\/products\/renaturing-by-james-canton","provider":"Wild Fungarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
