Great work, trees have so many benefits , from bringing shade and shelter also cooling the surrounding area, to food, wind breaks and stopping soil erosion. We need more of them Period.
Good to see, and an illustration of just how much work you make for yourself when you turn your back on your culture and heritage. For eons, European peoples planted and maintained hedgerows. They used them not only for boundaries between plots, but for resources. As they trimmed the hedges, the wood became products for their homes. The hedges provided food and medicine. And, they found that their livestock was healthier because pests were kept in control, as well as the hedgerows acting as shelter for the herds. All of this was known, but people turned their backs on it. Now, we talk about installing new hedgerows not because it's a benefit to us, but because it's seen as a way to help nature. While that's a good thing, I think we miss the mark a bit when we suggest that People are not a part of nature. We act like humans are some kind of interloper precisely because we've forgotten so much of our generational knowledge. That's what happens when you ignore the lessons learned by your ancestors, instead thinking they were backwards or unwise in the ways of the world. Now folks are seeing there was wisdom in what they did, and it's good to see a return. I only hope that this is the first step and soon we see people tending the hedgerows like they once were, local craftsmen producing goods for local customers. Then you'll see a renewal of the deep understanding.
Not only doesn't he hate "european colonizers who destroyed their own land". But he also doesn't hate humans as a species and doesn't call them cancer. You're not welcome among the eco death cultists, my dude 😂 Also, we need to stop modern system of ochlocracy (crowd ruling) and either start a true democracy with only citizens voting (about a 10% of population max) or return to the much more healthy monarchy.
These hedgerows do benefit us. It also improves soil moisture and fertility, and can increase the number of harvestable crops, add wind breaks, needed shade, etc, depending on what's planted.
@@b_uppy That's all true.... but it's also very ephemeral. What I suggest, after years of seeing it work firsthand, is tying people to the land in a more substantive, "in your face" kind of way. Humans are inherently self-interested, and there's nothing wrong with that. Our job is to accept that fact and capitalize on it. If we can show people how they can directly and immediately benefit from something that also helps the ecosystem, that's a win. Not too long ago, those hedgerows were a vital resource for the people nearby and they tended them very carefully because they were a resource. They needed the wood, berries, and herbs for themselves, so they treated the hedgerows like a garden of sorts. It's because they turned their backs on that, in many ways, that we are now suffering. They might not have understood how the hedgerows improved soil health and all that, because the science was in its infancy, but they were still tending the hedgerows and keeping them healthy because the hedgerows were to their immediate benefit. Where they went wrong was in listening to the outsiders who assured them that tearing down the hedgerows was the best course of action. That, again, shows us that just because some academic thinks they're right doesn't actually mean they're right. We must always be cautious about enacting new ideas and policies because too often we don't consider the 2nd and 3rd Order Effects of those decisions. Truly is the road to hell paved with good intentions.
@@threeriversforge1997 Mark Shepard has done a version of savanna-based/type farming that makes it easy to upscale. He uses interplanted, biome-appropriate, food-producing trees, vines, and shrubs that alternate between rows of grasses, perennials, and annuals in alley cropped rows. If the plants are picky/fail to thrive he replaces them with something that thrives without lots of care. He uses rainwater harvesting, too. Livestock are used to help manage weeds, pests, fertility, culls, crop residues, etc. He started with a somewhat degraded 100+ acres but has been restoring fertility, hydrology, efficiency, profitability, resiliency, etc. He has expanded to 5 other farms in the region as part of proof of concept Go to the library and check out his book on restoration ag.
Now you need to contain the ruminants to a small area with movable electric fence/one wire, move them to similar small paddocks daily and give each paddock 60-90 days rest before return. Seed bank and diversity will return which will augment your efforts with the hedge. Do another hedge off a swale along the contour of that nearby hill and you will increase the aquifer under your pasture making everything there more alive and drought resistant.
I just write out something about rainwater harvesting to support the viability of these trees. Big fan of Mark Shepard, Brad Lancaster and Allen Savory, each doing useful work.

They mention and show several times the 'electric shepherd': electric wired fences. I imagine those are pretty good for keeping out any grazers, wild or domesticated.
@@Judith_Remkes ; Thank you Judith Remkes. This type of fencing will only keep out cattle. So livestock, or cows. Dit type electrische draden houdt hooguit koeien en paarden buiten. Reewild stapt er onder door, en konijnen hou je er ook niet mee tegen.
yeah, just another green washing video. Probably was originally steppe or meadow anyway so all the last few species that need that hanging on will disappear.
That is normal for a hedge. It means more ground cover from the start, the soil will retain moisture, and more variety of fauna that can use the trees as cover and food. A tree getting large isn't the only function it can have in an ecosystem. When designing systems like this, one always has to take multiple factors into account.
In the UK, we plant hedging plants 12 to 18 inches apart, that can be done in single or double rows, it makes a nice thick hedge, which is good as a barrier for livestock.
You're assuming they're all the same type and mature size. Also overstocking assures that more survive even if they don't irrigate, though they could also create rainwater harvesting swales to further support plant life. Swales and other rainwater harvesting earthworks can prevent overly dry places where it is higher, and too marshy areas where it is lower when accompanied with regreeening efforts.
Are all of your trees and shrubs native to the area? If the planting area was a lot bigger, the cattle could just live in a wooded area instead of just grass. Grass is a biological desert.
No it's not if it's done right, as someone who grew up on a farm you'd be surprised at the amount of wildlife grasslands support if managed well. Currently a lot of cattle farmers overgraze their paddocks until there's nothing left, and if they have an excess they cut and bale it for feed. If you choose to rotate your cattle more frequently mimicking herd rotation in nature they don't eat the grass down to nothing, they eat some, drop nutrients when they need to go potty, and trample grass which creates a mulching layer trapping water in the soil, and allows the grass to bounce back quickly. When grassland is managed like this it is teeming with wildlife, there are thousands of grass nesting bird species, and in the USA in particularly they were particularly badly affected by the near extinction of buffalo due to their nesting habits being tied to this graze trample move technique that buffalo herds use and some ranchers mimic. I have seen this first hand, if you need more evidence there is a lot of content on UA-cam you could research on both grassland ecosystems and holistic grazing
Savannas are the best producer of biomass, over forest, grassland, etc. It's the greater diversity that's the winner. The closer to a monoculture, the less productive...
There is no indication in this video whether the trees planted were indigenous to the area, or whether they planted only one or a few species of tree. They seem to be starting at the wrong end of the problem, and will ultimately fail, if they have used a monoculture of exotic tree species. What should be a valuable exercise would then turn out to be an expensive and very sad mistake.
Muchas Gracias por tu trabajo! I hope you can help Spain to thrive once again.

It does have its hedges.
Nice actions for healing the earth
Great work, trees have so many benefits , from bringing shade and shelter also cooling the surrounding area, to food, wind breaks and stopping soil erosion. We need more of them Period.
Even harvestable crops to increase farm profitability. If they use push in fencing its easier to use harvest machinery for picking.

The hedges also act as windbreaks, and if they are managed correctly can provide a natural fence line making barbed wire redundant.
And they can farm in between if they wish to, verses just grazing livestock.
Great work!
