That would (likely) be Great Camas. Wiki has got it at 24-48" tall.

Camas, or Great Camas?

In one of the first and biggest projects of its kind in #Scotland, a landscape of more than 1,000 hectares of a globally rare and threatened habitat is being restored near Loch Ness, as part of Britain’s largest #rewilding initiative.

Area of reedbed trampled by cattle

At first look this area just looks like a reedbed. And getting into parts of it there is indeed dense reed. But other parts are patchy or completely open, while other dense bits have been roughed up by Highlands (that were moved off today).

I have heard, that if you hold a marmot up to your ear, you will hear what it sounds like to have your ear bitten by a marmot.

Bridge over a troubled highway Tribes, state to provide elk safe passage over Highway 20.

In Washington, the Stillaguamish Tribe, Upper Skagit Tribe, Tulalip Tribe and Washington State Department of Transportation are working together to build a wildlife overpass on a stretch of State Route 20 that elk frequently try to cross.

Pastoralism = migrating herbivores

How can the way a tree branches reveal its history — when the branches aren’t there anymore??

#permaculture

This Monks Wood #rewilding (natural colonisation) plot is 30 years old this year. It's taken that long for this single Bluebell to migrate 20m from adjacent ancient woodland to colonise the plot. But now it's here, joining the growing trees & shrubs: future ancient woodland in the making.

Weekend! Holidays for many! Go out, have fun & #RewildYourself.

Herbivores of all kinds once shaped habitats and provided many of the impacts necessary for functional ecological dynamics in all vegetated regions ever since life colonised the land.

The issue we face now is that herbivores are statistically rare in far too many places.

Definitely. There is no blanket framework we should apply everywhere; each place needs a unique and thoughtfully considered strategy. I like to ask: "What is best for this place?" The word "best" is a holistic term, encompassing the needs of all life.

Always a pleasure to find you, Sporormiella 🔬🍄

A trusted indicator of large herbivore presence, but which Ice Age giant left you behind? 🦌🐘🦬

Glad to see people talking about animals and wildlife as an essential part of nature recovery beyond the standard goal of exclusively re-vegetation.

This is a fundamental aspect of modern ecosystem dysfunction. Land fragmentation and herbivore / landscape mis-management are leading causes of nature and biodiversity loss. Everywhere I look I see landscapes which are either extremely overgrazed, or extremely under-grazed. This is not natural.

Firstly-

My long-held view is that Ecologists & Rewilders would be better off working very closely with all existing land managers and land owners, with the aim of improving the vegetation structures on as much land as possible.

This needs to happen ASAP

Rewilding is still stuck in set-stocking. (That's a tongue twister.)

While the leading ecological grazing systems of pulse/amp/holistic/cell/mob (whatever you want to call it- mooving herbivores around) - are fully adopted by pastoralists and regen / holistic farmers. Rewilding needs to upgrade.

An exceptional example of farming done well with tangible progress for nature recovery: Woodland expansion, regenerative grazing, tree hay, mosaic landscapes, and quality food.

I love the new verb.

There is more than enough fencing to stretch from Earth -around the Sun - and back again. We could use all the Onthekken we can get.

Can't find a translate option on this video, but I love watching people remove barbed-wire fencing and talk about large herbivores in any language.

Integrating trees in pastures is an under-utilized and under-appreciated way to boost livestock health and happiness, and also creates wildlife habitat and boosts biodiversity. Best are #silvopasture / #woodpasture systems.

More on the topic of labeling, terms, and connotations:

Beyond agroecology: Agricultural rewilding, a prospect for livestock systems Agricultural intensification is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Biodiversity conservation and restoration generally involve human intervention. In…

I found a paper on "agricultural rewilding" - The terminology certainly gets wordy. So many different types of "rewilding" and "farming", is it agricultural rewilding, rewilding lite, wild farming, agroecology, regenerative farming, or permaculture?

(These are all similar, with slight nuances.)

I agree it's still an amorphous and controversial concept with relatively few high profile real world examples. There actually may be far more farmers than we realize who are keeping exceptionally high nature value farms- they keep to themselves and are not looking for fame and medals.

There is a lot of room for improvement, and on a long term timescale, it pays for farmers to take care of their land.

I think farming can be a means of nature recovery, and eventually the "sustainable" aspects of keeping healthy land become financially beneficial.

I honestly don't think it is too tricky. Knepp Wildland is already pretty much doing what I am talking about. Anywhere there are large herbivores without natural predation - the eventual result, either by natural means, or through culling, is meat. Wildcrafting is a secondary source.
