Jekyll and Hyde Park?

The mayor of London has released £600,000 towards a 'rewilding' programme for parks in that sprawling city (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/14/sadiq-khan-rewild-hyde-park-green-species-london). The money will be spent on creating areas of scrub, green roofs, nesting boxes for Peregrine falcons and putting the wiggles back into water courses etc. Long-absent species should be attracted back into some of these locations. There might even be beavers in Hyde Park! The intention of this cross-party initiative is to increase biodiversity and make the natural world much more accessible to Londoners.
