I planted a Rose of Sharon (Althea) 10 yrs ago in my front yard. Someone before me had planted one many yrs ago. The person who did, never saw his beautiful tree in its finest years; I did. His gorgeous bush died this summer - I saw its beauty for 17 summers. Now, I will never see my Rose of Sharon during its prime yrs; someone else will. This beautiful bush grows slow. This summer it is producing its first flock of flowers - its beauty is memorizing to one's eyes.. Rose of Sharon is one of God's favorite bush - it is in the book of Solomon.

This man's property is about 50 miles from me. He removed non-native cedar trees. These cedars were brought to the Texas Hill Country centuries ago. They are a great nuisance and are water stealers. One adult cedar tree drinks about 300 gallons a week. When these trees are removed, native grasses and oaks and many other native trees begin to grow. Yes, even springs can begin to flow on some properties. His vision was amazing and his love of the Earth is a gift to all of us. God bless Texas!

There aren't any "non-native" cedars in central Texas. The ashe juniper has been here for hundreds of centuries, but it was greatly limited to creek areas, etc, up until the middle 1800's when land began to be cleared in large amounts. As the land eroded and became more caliche, one of the few plants that could survive (ashe juniper) began to spread quickly and took hold literally everywhere.

I have about an acre in my backyard that had been mowed for 60 years (family property). Last year I damaged my mower and paid someone to mow the front yard. We let the back grow wild and were impressed with how we started getting more life in it almost overnight. This year I didn't mow it and what an amazing change has happened. We have an abundance of butterflies, dragonflies, crickets, grasshoppers, rabbits, bees, and I even saw a couple garter snakes in there. My daughter and I walk through the field now and check out all the wildlife and flowers, it is beautiful.

Your forest won't do much for the land. What you need to do is plant grasses or bring in livestock to fertilize and stimulate the soil so the native grasses in the seed bank can start growing and putting their roots way down into the soil, capturing rain, and attracting all kinds of wildlife. Don't know where you live, but you might consider some beavers, too!

"Your legacy will likely evaporate, because..." the truth in your view is futileness, dark, hopelessness, and lifeless. You've already given up and are now campaigning for others to join you in your misery. Mr. Bamberger's legacy will NOT "evaporate" because you want to prove a point on government; rather, if you hear what he said was "ALL OF THIS CAN BE DONE BY YOU AND I. WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE GOVERNMENT AS WE CAN'T EXPECT GOVERNMENT TO DO IT ALL ANYWAY." Btw, "Good job old boy?" - Egocentric and disrespectful. Manners are what lacking on the Internet when expressing opinions and views. If you EVER have children take note on bring HOPE and LIFE to them instead of being combative to my sincere recommendation.

You misunderstood. In Australia, much outback farm land has become arid and worthless, unable to sustain stock much less wildlife, however one farmer listened to an old Aboriginee. The lesson was to cease all weed control, leave the land be, give it time to heal. He trialed it on a large block and after a couple of years the result was amazing; it was full of the very weeds that had been previously sprayed and torn out, but grasses and shrubs came back; it was able to sustain stock with little to no maintenance, and the wildlife was back too. He did not preach or publish, but the owners of neighbouring properties noticed, so he told them. It worked for them too. Does the government promote the approach? No, it does not. Do they care? Probably not, it doesn't fit with their agenda. It is down to the individual. I should add that most land owners do not follow the protocol, it is not promoted by government, so must be garbage. To too many, government is still Daddy.

In the United States we have a region known as the Midwest. It is also known as the breadbasket of our nation and is where most of the nation's grain is grown. Formerly it was millions of acres of grasslands where millions of bison roamed. They would eat the grass and poop thus fertilizing yet another generation of grass. Then we came along and killed off the bison and plowed up the grasslands and turned them into vast megafarms to supply the nation with wheat, corn and other grains. For the last century and a half we have been sucking the water out of the aquifer. Some scientists believe there are fewer than fifty years before the aquifer is completely dried up. When that happens, our breadbasket will become a great sandy desert like the Sahara. The top layers of soil will blow off like it partially did in the 1930's. There is soil in Africa and Asia that blew there across the Atlantic Ocean 75 years ago. The next time that happens will be worse. There will be no soil left. There will be nothing but sand left. This will stretch from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains and from southern Canada to Texas and even to Mexico. Both our grain production and our cattle production will cease and for the first time in our history we will need to import food to survive. We can stop it but nobody will want to. We need to do as you suggest. We need to let the land heal. We need to cut back on our grain production and let the aquifer replenish itself. We need to stop pumping up all the water out of the aquifer.

PogChampignon Wouldn't have made my comment if I didn't believe in what I said. I grew up in a semi rural village around a lot of farm land, wetlands and often used to go to the lakes with my dad and grandad where they child get away from work and a busy city life. I used to go fishing, look after animals and my Grandmother and dad taught me how to grow certain things and what to do with them. To be fair I'm quite annoyed at the fact you're basing my likes from videos on how I am and what I believe in, because that's a very narrow selection. But think what you want, even if you are under the impression that 'millennials' only preach this for a sense of self fulfilment. Quite jealous that you managed to actually have a childhood on an island where not much urban life would interfere with everything.

If everyone rewilded some of their garden eg let the grass and wild flowers grow, make a wildlife pond, plant a fruit tree and some fruit bushes this provides oxygen and a place for the wild, food and is good for our soul. We are not helpless we have the power if enough of us get involved. You seem despondent do look up the transformation of the Loess Plateau by the Chinese and the Knepp Estate in the UK.

I’m literally balling my eyes out. Although I don’t believe he’s a botanist, he learned what was actually native to that area and transformed it to how it should be. For anyone that doesn’t know, this is a micro example of HOW the dust bowl happened. They removed the native grasses, the water disappeared from the ground, and it stopped raining bc there was no water. I grew up in the middle of the woods in Ohio with a great big stream system literally in my driveway. My childhood experiences IS the reason why I love environmental science. I believe every child should have access to native untouched land, so that they can explore and learn. Thank you for inspiring me, I hope that more follow in your footsteps ❤️

i recently had the thrill of playing 18 holes of disc golf at selah ranch on one of its two world-class courses and let me say that video doesn't do justice to just how beautiful the land that selah is built on has become. it goes from borderline oceanic lakes to wanderlust-inspiring forests to being right there next to animals that are there, just sorta minding their business, and then before you know it you're right back in human comfort, with a beautiful view without leaving your bed. i'm not saying you should pick up disc golf just to experience selah in person, but you absolutely should experience selah once before you die, no matter what your excuse.

I've lived most of my adult life in central Texas. The hill country is not towering and spectacular like the Rockies (I've live there too), but it has an ancient and sublime feel to it that really lends itself to quiet contemplation as Mr. Bamberger said. It's terrific that he put his property into balance vs. the cockeyed grazing lands that are basically throwing gasoline on the fire.

@Whipspur Жыл бұрын
There’s nothing in this short documentary that said anything against grazing…it was overgrazed, yes. But with rest and the removal of a non-native invasive species(cedars), it became usable again. The grazing of grass is 100% natural to prairie land.
