Autumnal renewal<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

I have enjoyed many thrilling wildlife encounters but I\u2019ve yet to see a salmon leap up a waterfall or weir as it returns upriver to spawn. Autumn is the key time, when rising river levels spur these great fish into action. So I was very taken with Sheila Sim\u2019s idea of following the salmon run along the banks of a river \u2013 by bike<\/a>. In her case, it\u2019s the River Tay in Scotland and it makes for a refreshing tale of discovery. Did Sheila see a leaping salmon? Read to the end to find out. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Autumn is a time when we notice our woodlands, as deciduous trees adopt their entrancing seasonal colours. So it\u2019s a good time to assess the state of our woods and the role they play in boosting wildlife, tackling climate change and offering us mindful places to explore. We don\u2019t have enough in the UK \u2013 a mere 13% of our landmass is woodland. But how to tackle the deficit? Natural regeneration or planting schemes? Richard Baynes addresses this fascinating subject.<\/a> Our October issue went to print a couple of days before Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died, so we were unable to publish anything in that issue to mark the occasion. This month, John Craven reflects on the life of the late Queen and looks to the future of the monarchy and countryside in the hands of His Majesty King Charles III.<\/a> Also, read our Platinum Jubilee tributes to the late Queen at countryfile.com<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 including the Jubilee woodland planted in her honour. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Tay here is quiet, dark, peaty; it\u2019s easy to imagine the silvery fish resting in its inky pool while it gathers its strength to continue upstream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
