Pannage season

A pair of small friendly saddle back pigs rooting about Red Rise Brook confirmed that the pannage season has begun.  Not a feared of myself or my hound they hurriedly approached and gratefully snuffled the handfuls of fresh acorns I had picked for them.  It's great to see animals in the forest and it's a shame there's such resistance to the reintroduction of wild species across our land. Yes, we'd have to take more care when out and about in nature, and?  We've become so divorced from nature and the natural world that we no longer see ourselves as part of it, and there in lays the source of so many of our problems.
