[@laurelweiner8]

Katarina, you are a Godsend to the land , the community, and all to all those you have inspired. You generously have shared your vision and your faith . Your beautiful home and your fantastic narration are beyond heartwarming! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey and your absolutely beautiful soul! I hope you find the next stewards and when you do let us all know ! I loved this video and actually cried , so touching and magnificent1

Katharina- My husband and I are the next stewards of this land. Like you, I don't know yet how it will unfold. This place you've created is where I belong- to help people come back to themselves. You've created the space I've been dreaming of. Thank you for the contribution you be!

I hope you do Brook , look forward to the miracles continuing!

I was there for the Design Course where Sepp Holzer did the amazing earthworks, restoring the movement of the water. Life changing.

What a wonderful story! I pray you find the right steward for this slice of heaven!

Beautiful. Its funny as I am considering moving to that area of Montana and building a Holzer inspired farm. I had no idea you existed.

BEAUTIFUL!!! With money, it's possible to make nice projectS like this one. I'd like to see videos where they succeeded with little money and only a few hands. If anybody knows, let me know.

As the saying goes: you can execute a project 1) cheap 2) fast 3) in good quality - and you only get two of those parameters. (If a project attracts a LOT of volunteers like Geoff Lawtons Greening the desert project in Jordan that affects 1) - the extra free labor and the donations of things (beekeeping sets, PV panels, tools ....) that came over time as the project gained more international attention are almost as good as money. MONEY can considerably speed up things up. you reap the effects of positive feedback loops much earlier. There is a compound effect when restoring degraded natural systems. Gardeners with bad soil, or that start a garden on former lawn or evne forest often observe that after 2 - 3 years - ! it gets MUCH better (if the soil is not too bad and they work it in a garden or homesteand for 2 years for instance). Mulching, water retention and management etc.realy starts to pay off. The beauty of it: it gets better from there. The compound effects relate to TIME but also to AREA. Reforming one bed at a time is not the same as being able to do the whole garden. One property versus a whole region. See what the Chinese government did in the Lush plateau. This area with sufficient (if not super abundant) rain and excellent Loess soil was completely degraded by overgrazing. In the 1990s the Chinese went big, an area the size of the netherlands where 2.5 millions people live was reformed and because they threw a lot of resources at it, they saw dramatic improvements within 10 years. A single farmer or even village could not have done that. A little improvement, but there is also a negative compound effect. A person certainly could do things with modest means but it might take decades. A part of Seppp Holzer's way to execute permaculture are large earth works and if you do not have that ..... A lot can be done with mulch and protecting soil life. Of course in an area that is not used agriculturally free mulch is harder to come by. there are areas where people can have a truck load of wood chips for let's say 30 - 50 USD (for the transport) because muncipalities or electricity providers have to clean up trees and want to get rid of the bio mass. If you do not have that you can _still_ build bio mass, but it takes more time and / or work and / or money.

In the NREGA projects of India some work is quite modest - like placing a layer of rocks in a crescent form on the ground, if the slope is not too much that already slows down the runoff during monsoon. A village could do that and dig the water trenches (some for infilatration just to slow down the water during heavy rain and some for starge). They would need shovesl and volunteers. Of course it helps that the Indian villagers are paid for the work and that they also have the means to build larger ponds and dams with the help of earth moving machines. And that engineers, and hydrologists, and scientites are paid to accompagny the work and make sure things are safe and done according to all they had figured out so far. So not every village has to make all the mistakes themselves (sometimes a mistake would only become apparent after 5 - 10 years when there is an extraordinary draught or rain period). the learning curve is very steep if knowledge is spread to all.

We did everything on a shoestring. That was the problem in the end no funding

sehr schön

Schön - alles Gute für die Zukunft.

[@cornelstrydom9757]

Wow!!!!!!!!

[@Truckngirl]

Your website says you're back in Germany. Those -25 degree Fahrenheit days will do that. Many have come to Montana before you and many will come after and all will end up leaving.
