Spiral Farm (Kootenay Permaculture)

Last year we were planting native trees with @srstreamkeepers.bsky.social along the riverbank while the beavers were eating the existing larger trees along the Slocan River.

dry wetland at one of our wetland restoration project.

Happy to see the rain is back in the West Kootenays, BC.
This wetland restoration project was dry on October 30, 2025.
I have never seen it dry since we implemented the project in 2019.

The new trees are growing well, thanks!
A very small percentage died back, most likely caused by the drought. We didn't irrigate any trees.
And the one that is in the picture, was the beaver's lunch!
