Rewilding - Tree Planting - Desert into Forest
I watch a lot of these reforestation videos. I realise that trees take years to show much, but it would be helpful if all of the videographers would come back in a few years to see how things turned out. Good luck.
That's a great idea Russell, thank you!
I always go back to blocks I've planted. Usually to moose hunt but also awesome to see my trees!
You might have heard the survival rate (they said it in the video) while they were there?
It gets much worse if there isn't someone there full time to tend them for the first 4-5 years (unless they are planted near a water source).
Thank you for taking the initiative. The central govt ought to get more involved.
Yes would love some follow up videos. 1 year 3 year 5 year 10 year.
Have you considered building swales too? To actually retain the water by keeping it on the spot and make it sink into the ground to refill the groundwater? Sure, trees will eventually help to do that, but in such a dry landscape you should really combine your tree planting with building swales as that would multiply the effect of your good works.
they do the swales where they plant the almond trees so they are still on one line. the wild tree species are more randomly dispersed and they catch water by being planted inside of a hole in the form of a "mini-swale" kinda. with a mound on the steep side
Sadly Spain fucked up. It's not devoid of trees because dry and desert like, it's dry and desert like because they destroyed the trees. Overgrazing and removing forests for farming have led to this. It'"s true for most countries on Earth, but when you're in a Mediterranean climate, it doesn't regenerate quickly if you screw up. Greece, Italy, Southern France are all in the same boat. They destroyed their forests for grazing; and now their forests will take centuries to grow back. It leads to droughts, landslides, further destruction of the soils, and ultimately desertification. Spain looks like Arizona in so many places, which is why it was used to film westerns. But before the middle ages, it was all forests and rivers.
Hey Nicolas, I also think that was mainly the reason why Murcia is in a such state right now. Good point, but the question is what we will do about it.
what about working on water retention in the whole area first? looks like all the water just flows right down ...
Exactly my thought too...
you guys should get some fog nets in that area to ease up the cost of water
Moringa trees would have been perfect, they grow fast. And you'll have food.
Great...
Watching all the way from the Himalayas
I planted nearly 50 near Mumbai and also took there care while removing grass and added mulch and water to them. All this by volunteering with inature foundation.
You should plant sequoias for shade
Thanks you for planting🌱 trees🌱 to save many many people🌱 🌳🌲🌍🌳🌎🌳🌏🌳🌲🌿🍃🌱👍🌱🌱🌱🌿🍃🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Hard work.Thank you all! May those trees have a long and happy life.
Spain is a great place to restore forest… since some of it used to be forests. Great job! 👍 I didn’t really see any permaculture techniques though… no trenches or berms to slow down rain water runoff and increase seepage?
Awesome initiative. Would like to contribute financially. Just make sure you would plant several types of plants variety in a single location, so it would be like a natural forest.
Thank you, and yes, that's the point !
Need biodiversity. Monoculture is bad. Plant native species
you need to first of all worry about water and how the water will recharge each year look up perma culture and aqua culture.
Where are all the check dams in the waterways. This would help stop erosion and hold the little water they get in the valley itself. Making more water available to all the trees that they are planting.
Look at GROASIS WATERBOX, THERES A VIDEO ON SPAIN
I respect their convictions but I think they would accomplish more if they engaged the farmers and land owners and worked with them. Volunteers feel good but professionals are effective
Who will pay for their work ?
@@BeBraveToAct I live and work in a farming community in Missouri. I have family and friends who are farmers and I grew up working on farms. Every farmer I know is happy to do this kind of work on their land because the farms have belonged to their family for generations in many cases and they want the land to be healthy for their children. The key is one when you engage with them acknowledge their expertise and show them respect. Then show them how this makes their farm more profitable in the long run and how it can lower their costs for inputs. I know farmers that spend $500,000 last year on fertilizer. They are listening but you have to show them it is scalable. It's not easy but when they implement they do it on a scale so much larger it's incredible.
Your first step to green environment, keeping doing
love form India ♥️
You put the water in first not last. Trust this. And they will survive in dry conditions, with little assistance. Otherwise many will die. All that work wasted
Hello, can you explain why? I mean the plant is still receiving water so why would it die?
Love it. It was interesting hearing the specificities of reforesting Murcia. Here in my area you wouldn't try to shade oak saplings but do the very opposite: you need to replant oak saplings from shady to open areas if you want them to grow and not die at about the age of four.
Rewilding and reforestation is science. Its still amaze me how complex it might be and also how it differs from area to area.
Where do you live?
@@lapimpapa8476 At the moment I live in Catalonia Spain. But I move to from time to time and always looking for various projects to join
@@lapimpapa8476 did you mean @prometheus5770 with your questions? bc I would be interested in where you have to plant oak trees in open areas. In germany at least its still better to give them shadow and one companion plant to protect them until they get older
Whilst it would seem an alien concept to most almond orchard owners, if they inter-planted the almonds with other tree species, possibly a mix of fruit/nut bearing trees & nitrogen & or potassium soil fixing trees & introduced a mixed ground cover, their production rates should increase dramatically, erosion & water usage should do the exact opposite accordingly. A food forest effectively. As things stand, those almond orchards are basically desert landscapes.
The almond boom kills wide ecosystems and make it into wasteland just for getting an almond milk for life style. There are so many vegans don't thinking on the fact that they help to distroy our planet with that almond milk while the could use alternativev like hemp milk or rice milk.
@@maxschon7709 I don't think that it's reasonable to blame vegans for how the almonds are produced. It comes down to the producers themselves.
The urban vegan diet is the main factor on the almond boom since 2000. I am sorry if you dislike facts. However ignoring it would be like to ignore the bad impact of cattle farming on the climate. Almond, palm oil and avocados are cash crops distorying huge parts of infield.
There great alternatives like milk from hemp or rice to use.
By the way - a mix of 40% soya, 40% hemp and just 20% almond or hazelnut is one of the best non-milk milks ever tasted.
I love this type of project ,helping the climate ,soil,wildlife ,natrual resource plus looks good.
Great video, thank you for making and sharing. I would like to visit the camp, was actually on my way there in feb 2020 when the pandemic broke out and had to divert. When is the best time to visit? When was your video shot?
I think in terms of work which needs to be done every season is a bit different. I was in November and everyday it was mainly tree planting. Also in summer it might be very hot.
Super nice video of this wonderful project 👍
May it inspires more people to contribute and volunteer.
Best wishes to you all. Really hope you are all successful In America alot of dams are being taken down. In hopes of restoring fish and natural habitat to some areas. They are even restoring beavers to areas to help improve the areas they once inhabited.
This is so inspiring and goddamn radical to do as a collective, something I’ll be planning to work on from now on with nature. Amazing y’all 😊
Thank you all!! January is such a good time for this work, so chill and sunny ☀️
Indulo Man is a neolithic image said to help bring rain based in the caves close to Velez Blanko, it is said to pray to the Angelic Avatar = INDALO MAN
That was defenitely NOT Rucola what you were eating. Rucola is a plant with a completely different growth
Goodluvk and godbless 💙😇👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well done Guys and Galls, I wish you every success. Greetings from Cornwall.
I to you do more more good work
God bless you brother
Love form India
Please grow neem plants. It will come to maturity in 9 years.
Then birds will spread the seeds by swallowing the fruits and droppings
instead of planting trees dig trenches, fill them with coconut fiber, so the rain water can stay in the land, creating a micro climate in those small ditches, throw tree seeds in clay balls to allow them germinate. .
digging trenches next to big trees is always better, plant ground vine that create cover - morning glory, sweet potatoes that grow and dies regularly if it does not freeze murcia.
Planting trees in the badlands? They dont call it bad because it misbehaves. Its cuz it aint got no H2O.
I grew 13 oaks and one black walnut from. . All 2 years old now ready to go into the ground this year.
Brilliant ❤
I would really like to participate in a project like this. How can I realise this?
you need a thank you button on your video people will donate
Such a great initiative guys . Would like to see a after video of the trees . Btw new sub🙌
Thank you !
Well done for making planting trees look so groovy!
i love the idea of the video its really inspiring, thank you !
Thanks. Great to hear that !
One question: how will you ensure the trees the care they need, especially during summer heat? Aren’t they going to die after a while? Will you continue to water them during the next years until they grow strong enough?
This camp there on permanent basis, so there are people caring and planting trees all the time, I was there volunteering just for one week. As far as remember the survival rate was different in some places it was 50% in other 80%. But if you really want to know you should contact them.
@@BeBraveToAct Thanks! Wonderful project. I hope I’ll be able to participate one day!
@@BeBraveToAct See my comment further up.. You should consider building swales to retain the water, then you probably won't need people looking after you trees and you will also reduce flood runoffs and increase the groundwater level.
@@knutvreb6506 Thanks for your advice, I've been volunteering for them only for a short period of time. They still do restoration camps if you want to contact them go to
ecosystemrestorationcamps.org
@@BeBraveToAct Hei! Thanks for replying. I'm glad to see the work you've been doing there, I just wanted to bring in some suggestions that have been working very well across North America, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, India etc. I will write them, thank you for the link. If you are interested yourself; look up "Dryland rain gardens harvest all water from burst water land" by Brat Lancaster or "This farm design can heal the planet" by Andrew Millison. Of course there lots of others showing how, like John Liu. You find them all here on youtube :)
Only if there was a machine/robot to plant the seedballs properly, fast at scale and water these seedballs once in while. Maybe if the seedball was made by adding manure of local species like goats and cows, they may not graze/eat it. #savesoil
Great Idea !
Ya, nunggu dijemput dulu sama li
Hi, where are you buying the trees in bulk from? As I have 10acers in spain and would love to re- plant it all.
Also what fruit trees can handle the heat and frost in aragon?
Thanks 👍
You'd better ask the guys from the organization directly - ecosystemrestorationcamps.org/camp-altiplano/
Please due an update next year.
Please keep updating this project
Planting trees sounds like a great idea, but the reality is far more complex. Was this ecosystem here previously? If not, then will the new one they are creating ultimately die out? Have the local almond plantation stolen all the water from this area? These people clearly have good intentions, but the road to hell was paved with good intentions. I should know, as I have walked down it on many an occasion. As Kermit would say, it is not easy been green.
yes, the ecosystem was there previously. But most of it was completely destroyed by monoculture, like almonds. The whole region of Murica have wast area of desertificated land. You right it's not easy to be green, there are whole science on reforesting and eco system restoration.
That area seems to be close to mine, could something like that be planned for my area? I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but I don't have anyone support
Have those plantations gone well in the last year? Because we've had the worst year ever
Best idea to save forest is to Stop eating animals, so you don't need much land to keep them and feed them. Instead eat, tree based fruits, Instead of crops based food, which need to clear forest area for farming. Instead of packaged milk, have cow at your home milk them love them. Be intouch with animals, birds, forest and other flora and fauna.
yeah in a long term of course. I've been Vegan since 2008, in a short term we need to replant and reforest a lot of areas we have destroyed.
Why are you planting in summer? This is guaranteed failure... You have to plant in fall or spring when there is moisture in the ground and the tree can establish a root system...
It was November
Meanwhile I plant 3000 trees a day in Canada. Yall make that look to difficult
Tree planting is not a competition. If you plant 3000 a day good for you and the place you are planting.
Nice!
Ты крут! Я тоже сажаю выращиваю и сажаю деревья!
Is is possible to join this mission????
sure, look online for " ecosystem restoration camps"
Consider the environmental impact of your journey to a reforestation camp. You'll probably find one nearer home.
I'm thinking you're probably British, so there are several major replanting schemes going on right now in Scotland & England.
You may want to look up websites such as: Rewilding Britain, Reforest Britain, Cairngorms Connect, Trees For Life (there are a few more if you want to look around, and you could also contact your local Environment Agency/SEPA office if you want to connect with local groups. You can sign up with Rewilding Britain to access their map and information on independent projects).
@@debbiehenri345 Thank you for the information, I am Latvian and right now live in Spain. But anyway i will check the websites you've mentioned
@@debbiehenri345 , I wish I were British! I am from Uzbekistan!😂😂😂😂
Were is Marcia?
XLnt ! what's the name of the organisation, do they also operate in others regions in Spain ?
the name is in the title of video. Ecosystem Restoration Camps - they operate in several places.
Excellent.
Hi I was wondering if you have heard of Ecosia they are a search engine that plants tress
Thanks for letting me know, never heard of, but will try to use it!
Subbed
make sure you plant only one species in a grid pattern
Dhananjayan or Danny
Thank you guys
,👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👌
Un gran aplauso, y gracias
💜💚💜💚
Really cool man!
Thank Y'all for having Murcey for Mother Gaia. As likely many here have heard, non-$ellout scientists have said we have but a decade to plant 1.2 trillion trees so to avert climate chaos. It's known forests stabilize climate. Forests are known to be key to nature's hydrology, which is how forests create fresh water in abundance all the way inland. Reforest coasts & river riparian zones would capture & sequester carbon from slipping into the ocean where it has a devastating acidifying effect. This basically restores nature's carbon sink the oceans were never meant to become. Great gratitude will pour from posterity, if we can forge a future for generations to come.
They should look into the Savory Institute and grazing management to replenish grasslands and the carbon sinks.
It’s always great to see people taking action and making a difference! Do you have any before and after photos on any older areas?
Well done bro. Glad I found your channel.
Thank you Clint, great to hear that!
Hey, this is so cool! Thanks for making a change! ❤
Awesome !😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm jealous, we can't do anything like that in the U.S. without about 8 Government agencies spending a dozen years in approving the project..
Even then we can't have buildings like yours, the Sheriffs Department comes evicts you off the property (even if you own it) and then you have to wait a few months for a count date, they tear down your structure's and charge you a fine for it and additional for the demolition and clean-up!
Ask me how I know...
Ohh, that's terrible. I personally hate bureaucracy, when simple things get so complicated. Sometimes all you need to do is to give some freedom to the people, and beautiful projects and things will appear all around.
thank you for what you're doing !
This type of project of Restoring Flora and Fauna gives all who see this Vedio a Peaceful and Satisfying Feelings. May God Bless all of you for the Great Work.
Thank you a lot Shaik!
I love it
Where is this please? My mum lives in the area and I would love to come to look?
The place called Camp Altiplano
Good job mate , hope to do the same soon
