Agroforestry: Nut, fruit trees & timber, forest farming, "Biodiversity Forest Vadakste", Latvia.
Biodiversity Forest Vadakste in south east of Latvia is a 50 hectar forest farming and a young silvo-arable practice. This “off-grid" system is surrounded by vast state owned spruce monoculture. The goal of the practioner, drawing from extensive experience of the forestry sector, is to build a future seed source for a native broad-leaved forest, with nut & fruit bearing-, timber- and sap producing trees inserted.
The forest owner, Agnis Graudulis, has collected seeds, with the aim to get as broad genetic diversity as possible, of sweet chestnut (Castaneva sativa) in Sweden and walnut (Juglans regia) etc in Sweden and Latvia for several years, and has since built these systems with great dedication of labor to the plantings, generated nature-based solutions to water management, and biodiversity habitats.
By transforming a fragile spruce monoculture into a resilient, multifunctional broadleaved forest, Vadakste Biodiversity Forest set an inspiring example for how to keep the value of a forest investment in times of climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Biodiversity Forest Vadakste was one of the places visited during the UNHIDE AGROFORESTRY road-trip to unhide inspiring practicies of agroforestry in Sweden & Latvia 2024. A collaboration between Agroforestry Sweden, Latvian Permaculture Association & MEŽA PROJEKTI with support from Erasmus+. Contact us for general info about the Unhide project: www.rotverket.com.

*Sweden and Latvia are both free from Chestnut blight.

    Greetings from Northeastern Ontario Canada! Great film! We are in growing zone 2 (-40C days in winter are common). I have experimented with broad leaf trees as well planting under canopy and have been pleasantly surprised on how trees like Sugar Maple (Zone 3-7), and Black Walnut (zone 4), Butternut (zone 4), and Shagbark Hickory (zone 4-5), Douglas Fir (zone 5), Bur Oak (zone 3), White Oak (zone 3), grape vines, hardy kiwis, can all survive and thrive in under-plantings of our native mixed wood forests of the boreal forest, which around me consists of White Birch, Trembling Aspen, Balsam Poplar, White Spruce, Balsam Fir, shrub willow, shrub alder beaked hazel. Most of the trees from more southern zones of Canada will not grow in our open hay fields, but thrive in the under-plantings of the protection of the boreal over-growth canopy. So I am planting many types of trees which are not native to our growing zone. I am also experimenting with apples (non-native to Ontario, but naturalized in many places), sweet cherries, and different European and Eurasian species... basically anything that is close to our zone, grows some type of food or medicine. I am now scaling it up, since my 10-15 year experiments have been successful, in small areas. We have 32 Ha... (80 acres). Looks like the Latvian forest is well on its' way to being a very productive food forest/timber forest! Kudos!

      Hello from Latvia. Thank you for very useful observations. I started experiment in 2019 and step by step understood that small trees like to be with other trees and feel ok under canopies. My forest is in zone 5. The best results of underplanting are under grey alder stands (Alnus incana). Even almost native trees grows much better under alders compared to be planted in open field. In mixed forest it seems that alder groups also support other trees. By habitat grey alder is a pioneer specie and slows down and die when other trees outcompete it in height. Actually grey alder is a nitrogen fixer and seem that is shares nitrogen with other tree species around. For Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus I got two times size difference in proximity between trees planted in thinned alder vs under norway spruce (Picea abies).

      @@mezsaimnieciba Hey There! We have our native shrub speckled alder (Alnus incana), growing around our field, it is as you state; a "pioneer species". I am a retired Forestry/Fish & Wildlife Tech and have read extensively on the nitrogen fixing capability of the alders. Here where we live, mostly in wetter areas, alder can produce a "jungle" of growth that is very difficult to walk through. In my orchards I use sea buckthorn and (to a lesser extent), Russian Olive to break up the rows continuity as a disease/insect break and to aid fixing nitrogen. This Canadian Dr. of Soils has some great advice, and explains how plants grown closely together create synergy supplying each other with needed elements. ua-cam.com/video/SY-di0xmeh4/v-deo.html This was also studied extensively with scientific trials by the author of the book; "Finding the Mother Tree". where she explains how older trees/shrubs aid younger ones, and even different species through the mycelium network. Her book is a great read on the topic as well. Love chatting with like minded people like YOU! Thanks for sharing! Peace n Love!

    I am into my 60's when all these things finally occurred to me, yet here is someone half my age who is expressing such wisdom and truth for himself and for what is right for the whole community of Earth! I completely relate to his insight that one is expected to flee their rural or small town life for the city to find "real, respectable" profession that everyone agrees is admirable and prestigious (and totally different to your whole life up to that point), and most importantly, lucrative! And for what? So you can feel totally lost and without a soul once you've acquired said profession? What a load or horseshit! (Pardon me that...) But seriously, right? I have three degrees and practiced medicine for ten years before I finally listened to my unhappy soul and returned to Nature and what I truly love most. Thankfully this man trusted his heart and his inner wisdom. Now he is not only living in harmony with himself but the greater community as well, AND sharing that wisdom and balance with the world; whoever will listen. Bravo! I feel hope for humanity listening to him and his wisdom and knowing there are others as well.

    Very interesting! I wish you all the best with you efforts! Have you considered growing heartnut (Juglans ailantifolia cordiformis)? I really would love to do that some hundred kilometers north-eastwards (close to Tartu), but I haven't found reliable source for either guaranteed disease-free seeds or plants. Theoretically some varieties of mulberries and also walnuts could be grown (last ones grow e.g. successfully in Saaremaa) in our climate.

      What I understood that Persian walnut (Juglans regia) dont like to be in shadow, under canopies, but other Juglans feel ok, J mandshurica, tolerate in young age total shade, J nigra is more light demanding but still can grow under grey alder.. Juglans cordiformis you can buy in Lithuania, they are selling the grafted ones. And probably Erich Suurpere in Saremaa could give you some advice. Good luck!

Their (those in positions of power) idea was to produce expansive monocultures. The peasants were in the way of these grand schemes it appears!
