RE: Learning to Design a Permacultural Forest Garden and Playing with differents Layers
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I look forward to hearing more about how things progress! I also have property that I've been dreaming about developing into a food forest for years now. Two properties actually. However, my job and family have kept me from doing any actual work on it. However the kids are almost grown and I'm gearing myself to leaving my full time job to be a full time agroforester.. or permaculturalist.. or whatever I'll be called!
I'm not saying much about it yet to the community because I want better photo's before I do but thought I'd share a sneak peak here ;)
Got some space cleared so I can actually park a vehicle. Before now there wasn't even a roadway to the property! This area was covered with thin pines so scrawny you could push them over with your hand. No valuable trees. I'm hoping to start with clover as ground cover and go from there. Hopefully putting in a few camping spots so nature enthusiasts can have a place to stay and look around.
I have 20 acres of oldish (150+ year) forest and wetlands that I want to protect as much as I can. This is a picture of some of it.
The remaining 35 acres I hope to turn into food forest for animals and people alike.
Good luck on your project. Hopefully I can learn something from you as I'm doing my own 😁
This is seems so perfect dear @terganftp ! I hope you'll managed to launch yourself more and as I you want too soon ! I will also look forward to follow that advance of you 😇 😉 ! This is great you have that much forest on your land, on our side, we are surrounded by forest, but there isn't so much trees on the parcels...
Thanks for showing up, I happy we discovered each other 😊 May you have a good weekend with your family !
PS: Can I ask you where you are located ?
It is not ready for visitors yet but here are a few images :
Surrounded by mountains on all sides. With thick forest all around. 2km from the local store. 3km from a very large freshwater lake with great fishing.
On a little bigger map so you can actually find it on a map. If you don't know where that is, British Columbia is on Canada's West Coast.
I'm less than 500m from this park

My dream? Have a HIVE outpost here where any Hive member can come, enjoy, and relax. Not some expensive resort or nature retreat but rather a place to visit as friends. Maybe not realistic dream but my dream nonetheless.
Hope you enjoy and maybe come visit sometime
This just seems like heaven ! I understand why you may be impatient to get to work more and invest yourself in that environnement !
This would be awesome ! And I would love to come to visit you and your lands, that could be the first time I come in Canada :)
Thank you for the detailed infos... If there is an apocalyptic event, you can count on me haha 😉 even if I would prefer to join in more peaceful conditions ^^
I have a gravel road in place to access 20 x 1 acre pieces of land. Flat and dry (previously logged 20yrs ago). A much better road to the 2 acre piece you saw and a walking path through the remaining 30+ acres of big trees and wetland. If I could find nature minded people like yourself who want to come join me I'd be a happy man in my retirement. You would be most welcome to join or visit anytime. I will admit that while I'm Canadian.... Je ne peut pas parlais en francais bien, un peu seulement
We are currently in the process of buying our first house in France and I think it's already going to take us quite a while, but who knows what life will throw at us ^^ ? I imagine that with people invested locally, it must already be possible to do great things!
Oh, I guess your fluent French will always be better than my English haha !
Good day to you :)
