00:00I think like very often when you live on a farm you're sort of connected to the land and in
00:04so many
00:04ways there was this sort of worry that oh my god how much of this is burnt and where are
00:10all the
00:10sort of drinker moth caterpillars for the cuckoo just that sort of balance how's it going to be
00:15upset and there were people out watching it all going and I was just like oh god please let my
00:19trees be be all right you know the fire brigade were out and we could see it heading towards a
00:24nearby woodland to us and Brian like he's been there all his life and he says for 40 years he's
00:30not seen a fire like that and this bog is actually quite important it's about at least three meters of
00:36peat underneath where we're standing so making sure that it stays wet and it just keeps growing
00:41is going to be better for everything makes it more resilient to climate factors you know when you've got
00:49the rain it's soaking it up if you've got wildfires because it's drying up you know it's it can stop
00:55the movement of the wildfires by just being damper ground and if they do go over it it has a
01:01less impact
01:01on on that ground living in this really precious landscape I feel like it is it's the opportunity to
01:10get people trying to do things some of the bog land on top of the farm there that we did
01:16do some of the
01:16re-wetting with the wool buns I was thinking oh will they still be all right and was put a
01:21little bit
01:22at a piece because it is such a wet area it made it feel a bit better because I you
01:26know when you see
01:26a fire like that you just think nothing is going to survive in the path of that we're going to
01:31be
01:31looking at re-wetting between ours and our other neighbour because we've got a really important area
01:36for birds on the hill we look after our stock we look after our farmers we're business people
01:40but you know there's nobody that doesn't want to leave something good in what they've done in life
01:46so
01:50you
