Chris Packham has decried the degradation of Scotland’s natural landscape, which he says is leaving villages looking “barren”.
The nature presenter, who hosts Springwatch, said he is “unapologetic” about his views, stating: “Look, much of Glencoe was covered by trees, making it a far richer environment and habitat for wildlife and native species of wildflower. Now much of it just looks barren. I make no apologies for saying that and how it could do with a degree of re-wilding.
