Hello fellow steemians, here is REFORESTATION the main goal!
The conventional farming on our mountain-slope is transforming the typical diverse landscape into a mono-culture of stones.
While sustainable farming should be the applicable law. The overall guidelines are often neglected, diverse landscapes aren’t reflecting any of the facts that are defined by law implemented by the Natural Parc of the Sierra Nevada SPAIN.
the soil is nourished and not tilled so that biodiversity can flourish. In the six years that we are working the farm the bird population increased thanks to planting trees and bringing water to the farm by a 7 km long and more than 400 year old Moorish waterchannel called asequia.
“Trees are, for the earth the ultimate translators and moderators of incoming energy. At the crown of the forest and within its canopy the vast energy of sunlight, wind, precipitation are being modified for life and growth. Trees not only build but conserve the soils, shielding them from the impact of raindrops and the desiccation of wind and sun.” (bill molisson)
We want to provide knowledge to safeguard geo- and biodiversity values of the mountain. Hence there is need to strengthen its preservation and conservation; further knowledge and research is required in these areas. In the picture above you have an impression of what the garden now looks like, in the center you can see a chembuster! Step by step we help suffering land by depletion and erosion to re-green ! Mankind can do miracles if we want to! Upvote to help our forest grow faster and bigger!
