It's so amazing to see how far the homestead has come in just two years, not to mention the great diversity of wildlife that it attracts! Can't wait to see what comes of it in Year 3! I'm not exactly sure what your plans for the ponds are, but it'd be interesting to see how those might be transformed in the warmer months. The pond without fish should most definitely stay fish-free to accommodate the amphibians, but I'm wondering if the trout pond couldn't use a little tweaking. Perhaps some small trees at various spots across the bank to offer different temperature ranges, not to mention bank stability, as well as reeds and other water plants for insects and birds to use as perches. Most interestingly though, I wonder if adding different species of native fish to the pond wouldn't influence the kinds of animals that might be attracted to it, primarily those that eat fish. I know the point of the homestead is to change the landscape in order to attract wildlife, but fish aren't exactly known for traversing over land, you know?

Another great video of a dream life… I wonder, how long did you have to save up in order to be able to afford such a big homestead? I am really planning on doing the same, but in my own country Belgium. There are some great places in the Ardennes, where I assume some plots can be bought.

Needed this, truly did

Your thoughtfulness and care have inspired me to create little pockets for what I can on my little plot. I plan for more, thanks to you. Thank you for your inspiration ❤

Amazing video as always! Hope you will continue making these videos! It's so nice to see someone dedicating their property to wildlife. I am already looking forward to year 3! Happy holidays!

Thank you for this video! It is beautiful and inspiring!

This feels like KZbin premium, thankyou!

Words can't express how serene and happy these videos make me. They genuinely have the power to lift me out of a depressive rut, and for that I thank you. Please keep up the amazing work for these glorious animals!

You had an amazing vision for the future of this land. I love that you worked on a plan of action before delving in. This seems so smart with a lot of thought given to the wildlife. Your video production skills are outstanding. It's such a privilege to share this journey with you. Thank you ❤😊❤

Not only do I love your episodes, so do my cats! Thanks for a calming, wholesome, well rounded show

What a wonderful Christmas treat! Thank you, I love your videos and am so happy to be able to follow your project. You do all of this so well, the work on your land and the videos.

Als er een mogelijkheid was om een dubbele duim te geven dan deed ik dat. Dank U voor alle tijd en energie die u in deze video's heeft gestoken. Ik heb er van genoten!

@ HuntNow, er krabbelt bei Vollmond über den Boden und sammelt den Samen mit einer Pinzette😂😂😂❤😊

did you change the name of your channel?

@TheWildlifeHomestead, what is the method you use for seed collection?

Have a wonderful Holiday in the week of Joy and fun!!

Ich möchte mich auch herzlich für dieses wundervolle Video bedanken. Ein gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest🎄🤗

This is so great and inspiring! I love nature, I just wish I had the money to buy some land to create a mixed habitat

Your content is always such a fun surprise!! Thank you for the years of incredible uploads, and priceless video updates! Here’s to many fortunate New Years!! Much love from Seattle!

Beautiful! Those cute chickadees❤ some great progress over the year! Can't wait for the spring 😅. Merry christmas, stay warm 🎉

I can't wait to watch this. I'm moving to Maine next year and we are trying to get the best property possible so I can make a wildlife refuge as well - it's been my dream for years. I'm looking for prime location and as much acreage as I can afford, with the hope for expanding over time. Thank you for sharing and being an inspiration!

Favorite learning from this video: Butter butts! Can't wait for the meadows to develop more next year!

😍 Stunning cinematography! Beautifully shown year. I love the diversity you have and your homesteading management. Very satisfying improvements! 🩷

All this work to make your own wildlife Eden. You did a wondrous thing. "Mother Nature"is smiling at you,sir.

Such an interesting video. Super well done on the editing and narration.

So beautiful! Is that why you didn't do the 24h thing this year? Or maybe I just don't remember 😵‍💫

Yay new video! And its super long too! Love the updates, great shots as always.

👍🏼👍🏼

The music you’ve used for this is genuinely beautiful, stand outs for me include the trail bridge piano as well as a sort of “Phoebe history” 48:16 1:14:52

This is magnificent work; with the great blessing of not having to listen to Richard Attenborough obsessing over 'evolution', I don't watch him at all because of this . fly in the air over the earth.” 21 So God created the large sea animals.[a] He created all the many living things in the sea and every kind of bird that flies in the air Genesis 1;20

Watching your videos gives me so much happiness ❤

Wonderful video! I watched a lot of nature videos as a kid, and yours reminded me how much a good one can spark curiosity and love for nature. Btw, have you heard of a method of planting called Miyawaki? I've seen some examples of it from some rewildling channels I watched and it looked rather promising for growing plants really fast without use of fertilizer or anything, it's pretty uses the plants own competitive nature to outgrow their neighboring plants.

I’ve been getting back into watching these wildlife videos and I was so happy today seeing a new long video posted. These videos made me appreciate nature so much more ❤️

Awesome video! Your work is very inspiring! The photography is gorgeous - you are very talented at filming unique perspectives of nature.

depending on your climate I would look into native winter food sources for the birds. Plants like Amalanchier utahensis, Prunus virginiana or a local species of hawthorn tree. As for annuals, Helianthus (sunflower) species' are great seed sources in the fall. With a few targeted plantings of these plants will make a huge impact on bird activity in the winter.

this is an awesome project, cant wait till next year!

This is just so stunning....couldn't wait to watch it....and it surely did not disappoint....wow...you have busted your butt fixing it up, and you are living in Paradise. Just beautiful! Keep on keeping on....and the Happiest of Holidays to you and yours! Thank you for this absolutely fantastic ride~!💖🦊🦝🦌🐿🐇🦃🐾🐸🦋🐌🪰🪱🌼🌲💖

So relaxing, I love all your music choices to go with the nature! Watching you create this beautiful homestead is inspiring and wonderful! Thank you for documenting it, I look forward to your videos!

what a life

Stefano, your beautiful videos always bring me so much joy. The gorgeous cinematography, the birds, and the calming music are a wonderful escape. My head is full of ideas now for ways that we can improve our smaller woodland property. Thank you for the inspiration. I can't wait to see what year 3 brings.

I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this video series. So beautiful.

Great content! Have you thought about removing all the trees from the meadow areas? I think the non-woody species would be grateful.

This man deserves more recognition and support

What explains the behavior of the mouse killing the chicks? Is it a response to kill off potential predators and/or competitors for resources?

FINALLY

The amount of money I would pay to just sit in the snow and watch the birds. I would be broke 😂

There's a couple of creators on KZbin, like @NativeHabitatProject, that advocate controlled burns to help eliminate invasive plant species. Maybe look into that as a possible solution to help with some of the tougher areas where you're dealing with invasive.
