I BOUGHT A NATURE HOMESTEAD!

I recently bought a nature homestead in the backwoods of Quebec, where I hope to attract as much wildlife as possible.
Join me as I conserve and manage the land, explore the forests, and search for all of the wildlife that lives here. There's a lot to discover and much to do over the coming years. I can't wait to see what shows up!
The two charities I'll be donating to for the month of January are:
Help People ▶ Feeding America: feedingamerica.org
Help Nature ▶ Audubon Society: act.audubon.org/a/donate-stepped

Best KZbin content I’ve seen for months. I wish I could own a house and some land and do some fun nature stuff one day like you.

[@6Deep6]

Good initiative man. As a child (I was about 5 yrs old) we had a small cedar acreage on Vancouver Island. I absolutely loved the feeling of all the old trees with streams and dense forest. Long story short, we moved to New Zealand when I was 7, now I'm 50 but that feeling of the cedar forest had stuck with me and at the age of 45 I bought a 45ha hill with the pure goal of reforestation and facilitation for natural New Zealand ecosystem. Sounds like a similar path you and I. My job mostly consists of weed control and pest control - New Zealand has many imported invasive weeds and pests that will obliterate the native biodiversity. It is a grueling project, but it makes me feel good. Good luck with it.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Sounds like an amazing project, and well worth the effort! Thanks for the well wishes! I wish you continued success with yours!

[@StefanoIaniro]

So happy to hear, thank you!!

Warning for the pond: adding species (fish) is totally different from encouraging new species to come by adding flowers for examples. I'm always concerned about introducing any specie in natural areas. BTW, I suppose that you choose local flowers species for your meadow of course. 2 questions / suggestions for your ponds: A. Could your ponds become shelters for seasonal migratory birds species? If yes, what can you do to help them during their journey (probably same kind of initiatives than the ones you took around your small pond) B. Do you have bats during spring / summer seasons ? If so, you could add bat shelters on the roof of your towers and/or in some trees. They are mostly endangered species.

[@StefanoIaniro]

Definitely plan to setup bat boxes around! I'll be curious to see which birds migrate through this spring/fall. Once I have a list, I'll be looking into habitat to setup to help them on their journey

as for myself, I realize how important bats are in our ecosystem back in 2013 when I was backpacked in Costa Rica. I visited the Bat Jungle Tour created by a known specialist Dr. Richard K. Laval. "While bats account for nearly a fifth of the planet’s biodiversity, more than half of the known species have unknown or declining populations" Anything you can do will be great ✊

[@karnadyjuan]

honest question from a city dweller : isnt it safe to add native freshwater fish there ? fathead minnow for example

[@Narnendil]

Yeah adding fish to a pond usually doesn't encourage other pond life like frogs and such. Since it's already fish in one pond, I'd keep the other free of fish.

[@xaviersunderland9840]

bats over here definitely aren’t declining haha

[@Porrrrr7777]

This is admirable, I'm not quite a fan of wildlife photography but your videos about preserving habitats for the native species are really inspiring me into trying to do the same. Love your videos!

[@stephensaines7100]

Ditto! A lot of 'wildlife photography' is static, and somewhat detached from the story behind it. I'm hooked on this though...

[@Sei003]

I have no idea why KZbin decided to recommend this video to me but this is absolutely amazing! Seeing the vast nature is just mind-blowing. Congratulations and Happy New Year!

[@katherinenicholas7116]

A small pond modification to add a shallow bird bathing area would be a nice enhancement. My backyard birds also enjoy sand baths. Beautiful property! Enjoy 😊

[@plantedtanks]

I love this! Those ponds are so good for the wildlife in the area. Some suggestions to what you could do with them: -Build a shallow creek leading to one of them for added circulation and oxygen, bathing spot for birds, easy acces drinking for mammals and reptiles and for adding to the beautiful scenery :) - Make a marshlike shallow beach area with lots of vegetation for insects and amphibians to hide in. Amphibians need shallower waters in the spring that warm up quickly so the eggs hatch early and have a better chance of survival, and dense vegetation for hiding from predators and getting food. Shallow planted areas are also very good for filtration and oxygenation. - Plant more plants! Water lilys can sit both in the deeper and half shallow parts and help with excess nutrients and hiding spot for animals in the pond. I'm not familiar with the native plant species there, but the more the merrier. Both fully aquatic and marsh plants. Since it's so deep it won't get overgrown easily. Try to plant them in the bottom instead of planters for a more natural look and they'll be able to spread out. - I'm not sure about introducing fish or crayfish to the pond, maybe just some small minnows like you said that won't disturb the balance too much. Any bigger fish might eat the tadpoles, insects, plants and ruin nursery spots and scare off amphibians. And with amphibians thriving they'll feed the birds and other predators around the pond. I'm sure you'll do wonders with this place, I look forward to following the process!!

I was so pleased to learn that you and your partner were able to buy this land, especially so in that you are taking it over from hunters, returning its focus to supporting wildlife rather than exploiting it.

Really, Ray? You think hunters destroy wildlife? I'm not a hunter, but I understand their respect for the land and its creatures. Step out of the cartoon thinking, man.

[@ffii7773]

hunter's provide 60% of state wildlife funding, yet only account for 5% of the US population. you would be hard pressed to find someone who cares more about the long term health of the environment than those of us who continue to live off the bounty of nature. and more to the point, to live is to eat and to be eaten.

You (two) alone perserve and create sooo much space for other species and a healthy ecosystem to thrive, I swear it makes up for at least ten other people not doing so. I'm truly interested in living more in this way but currently still at university, so the steps I take are restricted to my balcony.

Salut! I'm in BC and am envious of your setup. I got a couple suggestions/ideas/ambitions. 1)Making your meadow: I really liked your standing/sitting blind. The thought occurred that you could do something similar for your meadow. Set up something between a hobbit house and a bunker so that you can maximize your sights while keeping it unobtrusive. 2) Around Costal BC we have a TON of wild birds that go nuts on local berries, you might want to get some native berry bushes set up and planted. On one hand it can attract bears, on the other hand if it's sufficient distance away from your living area they'll also attract birds and other critters. 3) Consider using a small portion of your funds used for charity to also go into bird seed for your feeders, use your views to keep the birds fed.

I think with that much land, you have to decide whether you'll be helping injured wildlife or not. It's very likely some of the larger animals may need medical care, as is the way of nature. It's up to you whether you let things take their course or get involved, but if you do choose to get involved, you're going to want to talk to the local wildlife protection charities and figure out what you're going to do the first time an injured lynx starts hiding under your porch.

A person after my own heart, thank you for the videos and the adventures. I'm a long time amateur wildlife and nature photographer that finally moved from the big city to Bend, Oregon. So much wildlife and beauty to see and capture. This video definitely provides ideas and inspiration. Looking forward to more.

Oh my Goodness! I’m feeling jealousy and envy at the same time, but I’m mostly feeling gratitude towards you and your family. How wonderful it is and what joy it’ll bring you.

People who go out of their way to help nature and animals have my deepest respect. This is something we could all learn from.

This is only the second video I have watched but the content is amazing! It's like watching your videos just sucks you in and you don't want to stop. I'm also really loving all of the support I see I have never seen so many donations in the comment section.
