We have no money to buy seeds, but we are confident that the boar will do a good and more importantly, a natural job, of spreading native flowers throughout the Forest.<br /><br />Good thought though, maybe your comment will inspire others to do this?Friends of the Boarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967173870514754401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787160331703156433.post-49255328630595165422016-05-18T14:31:31.304+01:002016-05-18T14:31:31.304+01:00Good to know that hunting has been forbidden somew...Good to know that hunting has been forbidden somewhere in Germany. if this is in woodland, let us know if you think the boar population has increased or decreased or no change since the ban. We are convinced that hunting often increases numbers and also increases the likelihood of disease due to stress.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment Eva, much appreciated.Friends of the Boarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967173870514754401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787160331703156433.post-89907224253798861522016-05-14T06:25:22.346+01:002016-05-14T06:25:22.346+01:00Could you not sprinkle some site-appropriate nativ...Could you not sprinkle some site-appropriate native wildflower seeds whenever you see evidence of rooting? Our environment may be depleted of naturally occurring parent plants, and this way you give the boar a helping hand in re-establishing native flora (and fauna). As you say, some poppies in village verges would be popular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787160331703156433.post-44927642437842161602016-05-05T06:27:51.456+01:002016-05-05T06:27:51.456+01:00Excellent article, thank you for your work!

A loving approach is the only solution to the problem. Hunting is forbidden here now and I'm very happy about it :-) Cheers from Germany. EvaEvahttp://www.rawkinglife.comnoreply@blogger.com
