Tip #1:

Think in 3D. We tend to think of land as flat, and therefore as 2D, but we can maximize functional space by using vegetative layers in 3D. This is a standard permaculture principle for maximizing food production, but also benefits wildlife by creating heterogenous niche habitats.

This is figure 1, which shows the approaches to restore forest cover and its expected outcomes for native biodiversity, carbon, water, timber and food.

A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity summarizes how differing forest restoration approaches affect impacts on biodiversity, and key knowledge gaps and research priorities for achieving biodiversity-centred restoration. https://go.nature.com/4c0XIuh 🧪

This is what it needs to look like. For days on end. As long as it takes. So proud of Hungarians and I hope they reclaim their democracy from Orban.

What a beautiful quote; thank you.

I just finished McLaren's "Life after Doom" and I found it to be very inspirational. Do you know of any discussion forums about that book?

I just finished McLaren's "Life after Doom" and I found it to be one of the most amazing books I've read -- ever.

Now, I'm checking out a book, Merton's contemplations mentioned in that book. He has many great resources; thanks for mentioning him and his work :)

All the best to you.
Respect.

when they are taken back to a stump or "stool", they dump carbon into the soil and feed their team of microorganism friends which help them feed on the materials they need to rejuvenate. 5/

Such a brilliant book. Thank you for the post :)

Are you aware of any groups discussing it?

Brilliant quote. Brilliant book. Thank you.

Are you aware of any groups discussing and learning from this text?

I just finished it. There seems to be a place and incentive for public discourse.

I agree -- a necessary book indeed. Thank you.

Are you aware of any groups discussing this text and applying its wisdom to our own personal contemplative practice and also the collective mission of coming together to attempt to heal our short-sighted ways, mitigate suffering and render mutual aid?

The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Because no matter what abusers take from their victims, they don't want to take the blame. And one of

SOCIAL MURDER Is a term coined by Friedrich Engels in 1845 and used to describe murder committed by the political and social elite where they knowingly permit conditions to exist where the poorest and most vulnerable in society are deprived of the necessities of life and are placed in a position in which they cannot reasonably be expected to live and will inevitably meet an early and unnatural death.

Does planting a small patch of native wildflowers make a difference?

Yes, it absolutely does. Studies have shown over and over again that it really helps. And that help matters because once a species is extinct, it’s gone for good

Now is the time to make a plan for spring!
