You need to ensure adequate water supply, that may mean putting in rainwater harvesting structures out of onsite materials such as rocks, dug out pits and swales, or tree branches or trunks. Mark Shepard has uses the biome compatibility to grow diverse food-producing trees, vines and shrubs, in alternating rows with perennials and grasses. His is a savannah model that avoids monocultures, and is wildlife compatible while building food resiliency. Strongly suggest people read his books, including Restoration Agriculture. Also checkout Brad Lancaster who whose books are a great collection of how to harvest rainwater. Would love to see a lot more people employing these methods...

Thanks for the comment @b_uppy! We agree, sustainable water sourcing, like rainwater harvesting using onsite materials, is really smart. Mark Shepard's biome compatibility approach and his savannah model are def. innovative methods to foster biodiversity and avoid monocultures. It's inspiring to see such methods, and we hope more people adopt them. Thanks for highlighting these!
@@LlibertarianGalt More trees on hills and mountains is important, while savanna-type plantings are better for flatter land. It's better if farmland methods employ biome-compatible, food-producing, alley-cropped rows of interplanted trees, shrubs and vines that alternate with perennials, grasses, and annuals. We would be better with less dependence on grain for livestock fodder, and more of grazing, and being conscious to use nut trees as the primary source for fats and starches (in addition to managing culls, crop residues, weeds, pests, etc). This creates a better flavored, more nutritious livestock while raising happier and healthier animals, and building soil at the same time. It would also encourage more market diversity as well, and lessen the effects of inner city food deserts... We need to reject food that is conventionally-grown by mega corporate conglomerates.
Maybe a stupid question, but wouldn't you usually need to focus on water and soil management for years before planting any trees? Why should the trees be costing anything at all? Shouldn't seedings be your primary crop for as long as you're actively expanding coverage?
Hey @AandJOutpost. That's a great question. @b_uppy makes a fair point - start with yourself. But as you go through the steps in this video you will interact with many knowledgeable and well connected people. When you start asking questions and inquiring about wanting someone to join you, knowledgeable people will lead you the right way and people will show up. Good luck!
dig some ponds which will help the rainwater percolate to the surrounding soil. read about permaculture to better understand how building ponds can help afforestation.
If you're not trying to get rich selling saplings it's better sowing seeds from local trees, only the healthier more adapted trees will survive instead saplings with dubious genetics. Nature takes care of itself. We just need to keep humans out of the place for long enough (also some animals out like cattle if it applies).

i like this channel because it reminds me that not everything is hopeless and horrible.

Thank you for your video. I have saved it to a playlist that I share with people interested in improving resiliency in a reasonable way.
Even if just planting forests, adding native shrubs and woodland plants helps increase biodiversity and reliency! 😊

Forgot about air pruned saplings!
Works best for trees with tap roots
Ooopss.. Thanks for the input! Could you add some of your thinking regarding these? 👏
@@naturio-tv edible acres has some great videos on it. They also recommended who they learned from

In Central America my main nemesises are leaf cutter ants and the dry season
wow, i think we will start planning a reforestation project! how can we get more people involved!?
Start with yourself.

Forests , rain forests ❤😂🎉make rain and a pleasant micro climate.lplant fruit and nut trees too. 💥🐉🐉🌹🌹🍀
Good video, sums up the most important things
Thanks! Glad you think so! 🙌😁
