CELT - Environmental Living & Training
Ireland
Приєднався 16 вер 2013
CELT is a registered charity providing education, training and awareness-raising activities in environmental issues, skills for sustainable living and nature conservation.
Through skills training events and exhibitions we promote traditional skills to keep them alive and relevant to our modern society...and as a way of encouraging community to engage with their heritage in an empowering sustainable way.
Our popular Traditional skills weekend event 'Weekend in the Hills' is focused on offering a wide range of traditional skills bringing together local and national experts in a creative supportive atmosphere that enables a great hands on experience for all participants...including Adventure Bush-craft courses for kids.
We also provide biodiversity surveys, help to plan and install nature trails and offer educational guided woodland walks, with the aim of connecting local communities to their local natural environment via improved access and educational opportunity.

An Effective way of implementing TREES on the FARM!

In this video, Andrew shows us an example of Agroforestry tree planting: the creation of tree coops in grazing or crop fields. Hereby a biodiversity oasis is created in the middle of the field that can also give shade to livestock, improve drainage and field fertility, and more. The round design makes for cost-effective and easy-to-put-up fencing, protecting the trees from livestock and deer.
Once the trees are properly established, animals could potentially roam inside the planted coupe as well. This concept is developed by Andrew St. Ledger of the Woodland League.
Ireland's new Forestry Programme 2023-2027 (which is still awaiting EU approval): small woodlands on Farms are being promoted under the 'Native Tree Area Scheme' which supports the creation of small woodlands (up to 1ha) without the need for a reforestation license. Besides covering the costs of the forest creation farmers will be rewarded with a significant premium of €2284/ha/year for 10 years.

lurveeee the concept!
My uncle he is a legend ❤
RIP Andrew xxx
Well done.. a life well spent and his spirit surely continues in these wild and beautiful places.
Rest in Peace Andrew. Your work will continue and your legacy carry on. Job well done
Nobody could have seen the day Andrew left us. Very sad still .... RIP Andrew, your gentle heart and gigantic soul has been a balm for so many of us, and the forests, mycelium, and other nature networks will be falling over themselves to make the nicest bed for your onward journey, Brother. 💚💚💚
❤❤
Rest well Sledge
Farmers have been doing this for centuries ? :p
Now turn a hardy breed of pigs onto the woods and it will really help
3:15 Interesting because that's not a baby tree, that's a horsetail, and the genus (Equisetum) is older than anything with leaves. Some of their ancestors grew up to almost 100ft tall.
I appreciate the insight.
Andrew, you were one of the biggest influences in my life. Fly high xxx
Please don’t blame the farmers ! I grew up on a farm back in the 70s / 80s and at that time the agriculture policy was to drain the land in order to produce more grass. There were agricultural grants for drainage and “ improving” the land. Farmers were financially rewarded for doing this. We are now living with the results of these government policies in the form of flash flooding in our towns and cities. There needs to be a ban on all future land drainage and instead make grants available to farmers to plant trees. Many fields have an area of low lying ground that is prone to flooding and this is where the trees could be planted. The trees will absorb the water through the root system and transfer the water up to the tree canopy where excess water evaporates back into the atmosphere.
i smiled when he said “operating in tree dimensions”
Bill gates thinks planting trees is a waste if time 😳😳
Now we’re working in tree dimensions 👌
Truly Tree Dimensional!
❤
Its a COPSE! /kɒps/ noun a small group of trees. Not Coope thats ann enclosure for animals ! :p
Trees actively acidify soil while in combination adding organic matter and thus increasing cation exchange capacity
do you have to do much intervention to plant the initial circular band of trees into the reedy ground? was thinking there may be a competition issue between the reeds and the trees. Seems like a brilliant method to provide a win-win in terms of quality for biodiversity and agriculture
Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤
You’d have to wonder how far can you plant the trees away from one another
Working with natural regenerative processes is key to the future of agriculture.
very cool
Great useful education. Very much appreciated.
I would like to see other land owners pick up on this. Watershed management can be so rewarding. 20 spruce trees for old Jim.
i always thought it was called a copse
You might be right;)
He isn’t fooling me a bit - he is clearly in league with the “wee folk” and using this ruse to make more “fairy rings”!
What's the diameter of these tree coops?
Andrew used 50m fencing wire (circumference), giving a diameter of about 16m , but with 100m wire that would be about 32m
Sadly the polls are back and it’s only 1 in 10 farmers prepared to entertain the idea of any rewilding on their land…….. man humans svck
it's about trying ideas and testing idea's so people in the future can see what u have done , and learn from it, Absolute LEDEND! ENOUGH SAID!
.
I love this idea, and I love all the different wildlife and insects drawn to it. It also is wonderful that it can be used to harvest things that humans can use without cutting the whole thing down. Very fantastic idea!
He has a great message!
Circle or oval shape makes it easier for large mechanized farms to deal with - depending on the turn radius of the equipment.
The groupings of trees held cool air that blew into our home during summer ! It was lovely .
Operating in Tree Dimensions??
I bet Larry has more assists while on his back than any other player.
Those trees really appreciate the increase in CO2 as they use it to grow and make more oxygen.
Interesting concept...condusive to alley cropping! And, when mature, natural shelter for livestock.
I really think the areas need to be interconnected, so small animals and birds can move about in cover. Obviously, some is better than none, but interconnected is better than some!
Question: Why is there so much grassland and moors in the British Isles? In most of the Eastern US and Canada, open grassland quickly becomes forest without mowing or grazing. Is the same true in the British Isles?
There's sadly not much land left there that's not overgrazed by sheep or deer
This video is about Ireland. You live on another continent on the other side of the world with a very different climate.
Very good idea that could be called 'nature forts' where the local pest predators can wait for the next opportunity. However trees are also integral to the water table and these should be integrated with radial lines of trees that connect the 'forts' or 'coops' and provide that underground function. Bee hives, bird boxes and a pond would complete the picture.
This video is fake.
Is this method also work on tropical and arid climate?
I wouldn't see why not (?) :)
Subbed!
This what we came to Ireland to find this summer. We returnred to Mossy Wood near Kilarney to find one crooked yew but they fenced the area off to conserve it. We were there for the first time 25 years ago and still love it. Thank you, Andrew, to keep parts of Nature's ledgers save, we need the capital badly
I had a dream about circles around individual fruit trees, and in one of those circles I saw bucks fighting. I think this video somewhat answers my curiosity. I imagine many of the seeds of weeds will float around the rings with the air current.
If only more land owners had his level of intelligence and common sense. I wish him all the best.
They have but for decades they responded to the market and produced more food because that’s what they were asked to do.
