17.01.2022 Looks like the database is being rebuilt but hopefully this will be a great resource.

16.01.2022 https://www.greenthesinai.com/home If you haven't seen John D. Liu's films on the Loess Plateau in China, do watch the video on theis page. It gives a very good summary of what we need to do to restore the ecological functioning of all degraded land.

15.01.2022 Great video - short and spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch

15.01.2022 "The UK, for example, plans to create 30,000 hectares of woodland a year by 2025. India has pledged to restore 26m hectares of degraded land by 2030. Africa’s Great Green Wall, the world’s largest ecosystem restoration project, aims to plant an 8,000km line of trees across the Sahara Desert, from Senegal to Djibouti." What will Australia do, I wonder. https://www.theguardian.com//our-biggest-challenge-lack-of

13.01.2022 August is tree planting month. Pecans and hazels joined pine nuts and mulberries in a contour row in Home Field. In the food forest - seed grown pears planted at 1 m spacing to form a hedge, hazel seedlings and weeping willow cuttings behind the dam. Many thanks to Lee Arandale, Don Miles, Cheryl Rudd and Clare from Cold Country Organics for their hard work and enthusiasm.

10.01.2022 What a lovely film - check it out!

10.01.2022 Looks wonderful!

09.01.2022 The first half of this talk is enjoyable. The second half is inspirational. https://www.abc.net.au//james-rebanks-farming-sus/12643146

07.01.2022 Some pics of the farm taken at the end of October. It's coming along!

07.01.2022 Interesting that these men are sitting in a beautiful natural(ish) setting under huge old trees. I think they say some useful things but there is sadly no mention of minimising consumption or revegetating and re-treeing the planet. https://www.ted.com//john_doerr_and_hal_harvey_how_to_deca

06.01.2022 Now this is exciting - a detailed look at what Panos Manikis has been doing for the last 30 years.

06.01.2022 Just wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYunPJQWZ1o&t=7s

04.01.2022 Cooperate with nature. Energy is everything and everything is energy. As the days get hotter we notice the temperature difference in the garden. Plants eat the ...sun’s energy and absorb heat in the process. They also transpire, releasing moisture through their leaves. The net effect is natural air conditioning. Planting trees will cool our own systems and contribute to a cooler suburb, a cooler country and a cooler planet. Permaculture teaches us to put energy to its highest use. It makes sense to cool our environment using plants rather electronic appliances, no matter how those appliances are powered. Trees are completely sustainable. They can regenerate and at the end of their lives they can self replicate. Nothing we can manufacture comes close. #permacoach #permacoaching #permaculture #gust #onemillionwomen #trees #nswcentralcoast See more

03.01.2022 Plant a tree. Always plant a tree, where you can, if you can. Mine were just removed last month - 10 months after being destroyed in the Morton Fire. So I'll be... planting natives in place of the pines. This doesn't really fix anything, but it also fixes so much.

03.01.2022 Probably not going to happen on the tablelands but very interesting nevertheless! https://www.bbc.com//20200910-the-remarkable-floating-gard

03.01.2022 Make sure you watch the video right at the bottom of this page, which is about so much more than market gardening. Very inspiring. https://pakaraka-permaculture.teachable.com/

02.01.2022 Trees are a good deal more than carbon sinks and native forests are precious. Deforestation causes drought across entire continents.

02.01.2022 We can't grow macadamias here of course but this is why we grow many of our fruit and nut trees from seed at BBF. Diversity is essential at all levels. https://www.theguardian.com//in-a-nutshell-how-the-macadam

02.01.2022 Great video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJBtmSR7Nnc&feature=youtu.be

01.01.2022 We got another 200 trees in the ground yesterday. Part of Armidale Tree Group's Every Tree Counts project which is helping to revegetate the riparian zone of Saumarez Creek. Many thanks to Adam Blakester, Joakim and Mattie Ho and all the volunteers who worked like a well oiled machine to get all 200 trees planted in 2 hours.
