Not only national, but also internationally it is unique that a private landowner on this scale (circa 1400 ha) voluntary changes the management of his estate from very intensive agriculture to a zero input land-use to produce high quality of meat and high quality “biodiversity”. This goes beyond the private interest and private responsibility. Therefore it is a sound decision and worthwhile to support such private owners with public money to keep this way of management possible, also in the long term. It is not only the production of meat, it is much more. We can learn from the natural processes and use these experiences for new ways of nature management in future in the UK and it is an example for landowners in other countries in Europe too. Nature management without the use of machines and the use of fossil fuels. And, public can enjoy nature in a vast area almost without internal fences, where they can freely roam around, between the animals: cattle, horses, pigs and many deer, both fallow and roe, together with the foxes, the birds, the raven, the beautiful trees (no longer harmed by ploughing of the fields) and all the other beauties of nature and landscape.

The Dutch Society for Nature Development is a think tank on large scaled nature development, existing of experts, working for nature conservation in the Netherlands and abroad. Its goal is to stimulate the quality of nature by new nature, ecological corridors and a better use of ecological processes, where large grazers play an important role. It meets three times per year for discussions, exchange of knowledge and networks, and for field visits. It is a group of about 40 people, of all ages: exchange of experiences between young and old is one of its main goal.For more information in Dutch, visit: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=3680669&trk=anet_ug_grppro
