Year 1 of Building The Wildlife Homestead

[@Maguolagan]

I’m a senior in environmental science, an avid outdoorsman, not afraid of hard work and interested in film and narration; and you are the blueprint. If I could even make one video to the caliber of what you produce, I’d be happy. You do fantastic work that is undoubtably possible because of years of knowledge that allows you to collect your own observations to apply those skills. I hope to see you producing suitable habitat and wonderful content for years to come!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you so much for the kind words, very encouraging!

[@jamesfrystak]

I agree with all of this. I often look to Stefano's channel for inspiration on storytelling and I admire the incredibly hard work that goes into these videos. Well done Stefano!

[@thecerealcommie]

Sounds like this person wants to come intern with you

[@giancarlomacchiavelli2590]

Una meraviglia....grazie

[@felipesaavedra8819]

Hi this is out of topic but I am going to university soon for either zoology or environmental science. Would you mind giving me any insight from studying environmental science? And are the job opportunities good? I would appreciate it a lot

[@iczemi]

Probably this is the very definition of happiness.

[@BrianFitch-m2k]

Agreed

[@MrJonNoob]

One hour of wildlife homestead update. Stefano is really blessing us this christmas

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Have a merry christmas!

[@62WILDCAT]

Seeing this in June 2024 here in a hideous heat wave in Florida panhandle ( lower Alabama) ,this is so refreshing ❤ thank you so much for sharing..❤

[@chelseastevenson8767]

And to think you potentially just saved 30 acres of land from being developed into residential or commercial use in the future is so incredible, from one nature lover to another, thank you for preserving this land for so many creatures that call it home

[@BezmenovDisciple]

Is it really just 30 acres?!

[@karma_dude]

I mean that 30 acres could have been used to start growing wheat and sold it to cow farms and horse farms, ect, and you would make a lot of money

[@BezmenovDisciple]

@@karma_dude Oh I just mean it’s surprising to think only 30 acres could support all that wildlife, especially the larger mammals. I would have thought you’d need more acres to do this sort of thing.

[@rockpooladmirer]

@@karma_dudehow is that better? please explain..

[@BezmenovDisciple]

@@rockpooladmirer It was a misunderstanding. I think Karma thought I was complaining that he “only” saved 30 acres when I was just expressing surprise.

[@ColeKresge-ng6mr]

I’m just a 12 year old boy who’s never been into nature or anything like that but your videos are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen I love your channel thank you for making such life changing content

[@minecraft111web]

i'm a 14 year old and i start planting tomatoes

[@real_smilegamez]

I bet once you get the possibility to travel on your own, you will visit nature much more :)

[@real_smilegamez]

Awesome to hear mate, keep that up because home grown tomatoes taste the best!@@minecraft111web

[@BigCroca]

@@minecraft111webvery nice!

[@BigCroca]

Pretty disappointing for todays society that many young kids have never been in nature before

[@billlatronica6848]

Thanks! This is better than most nature documentaries I’ve seen! I like how you strive to live in sync with the land and all the animals around you!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So happy to hear! Thanks so much for the support ❤️

[@de1isa]

A whole hour of content, literally an early Christmas present thank you

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So kind, hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas!

[@Grdiang3l]

My thoughts exactly

[@DannyCreech]

I can't believe I watched one HOUR of this video. I'm not a bird watcher but I am a lover of wildlife. I just bought 158 acres in the mountains of West Virginia. I love how you put this video together and of course loved watching the wild life. I think I will do that on my channel: Retired Dream Life. Thanks for such a great video! Your knowledge about wildlife is impressive.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Wow, congrats on the new property! I'm sure it'll be an amazing adventure :)

[@conan2735]

the quality of footage from your backyard is stunning. seeing the amount of salamander and frog eggs in a simple small forest pond is baffling. i share your dream to one day create a wildlife haven myself. absolutely documentary quality film you could say, all from your backyard... just wow

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much, and good luck on your future property!

[@claymccleery9451]

You give me hope. At seventy, I am slowly creating a food environment in my back yard, for the birds, bees, butterflies and moths, bats and rabbits, and too many squirrels. Your video was very enjoyable.

[@outdoorsinontario3037]

Wow! The world needs more land owners like you out there, for sure! If only every person out there wasn’t so greedy and disconnected then we’d have the natural world a lot happier. I want to do what you are doing with your land. I hope to be able to share the process just like yourself. Thank you for all the hard work, not only for us, but the whole animal kingdom! Well done dude!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much! I’m excited for you to start on your project 🙂

[@stewartmgc]

I think this is the best video I've seen on KZbin ever

[@ryanchan285]

that chickadee at 26:16 sure wanted some spotlight!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Haha, definitely the star of the show

[@jrlad7271]

Chickadees are my favorite bird. Around all year, brave, curious and friendly.

[@ricardopessoa8362]

Thank you for sharing all these marvelous glimpses of your little paradise. The balance with which you search to live with the nature around you is exemplary and the enthusiasm for the wildlife is contagious.

[@OKchooch]

I’ve always loved nature but with living in the city it’s so easy to just keep going about your life and forget just how beautiful our earth can be. Stefano, this is amazing! And it makes me want to find a way to move out of the city and maintain a piece of my own land.

[@sushygored]

Man, as a quebecois, I'm so damn happy that you are enriching our beautiful province. I learn so much, I never would have expected we had so many gorgeous animals around here, it's simply mindblowing. Thank you!

[@bsnufkin929]

Fantastic recap. Please make one every year, it's lovely to see the progress you make. It will be great to see how the changes you introduce influence the number of species! One hour is not too long when the content is so wholesome!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So happy to hear you enjoyed, I definitely plan to make them every year!

[@Tsukaiyo]

[@ArmandoRodriguez-pu6pr]

Since the inception of shorts and reels its been so long since ive watched an hour of anything on youtube. Thank you bro. This was well worth it.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

That means a lot, thank you!

[@staiain]

I'm super jealous but I am also super happy for you and I am thankful you are sharing this with all of us who can't realise our dreams living in a place like you do, thank you!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So kind of you to say!

[@LisaSaffell]

Absolutely incredible! Your cinematography and storytelling are top notch and you have quite a treasure there. I have to tell you that I started caring for my Mom full time a year ago because of her progressing Dementia. Not many things hold her attention these days. I put your video on the TV and she was enthralled. She would not stop talking about how much she loved the animals and the birds. One hour of pure joy for her and I enjoyed watching her. Thank you for sharing your wildlife and home with us.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much for sharing, Lisa! It means a lot to know she enjoyed it so much. I hope you're both doing well and are having a wonderful holiday season :)

[@KalebPeters99]

Wow! Seeing all 4 seasons really paints a rich picture of the area and its cycle of wildlife. Thank you for documenting this so beautifully and narrating it so thoughtfully 🙏💕 Happy holidays! Here's to many more years!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much! Happy Holidays!

I'm 63 years old with a lifelong passion for ecology, and a father who can identify every bird by song. But for me, they might as well be varieties of mice. (Maybe I was, er, put off.) That said, watching this I am now beginning to understand why someone might be so fascinated (partly because all these birds are completely new to me, from the UK!) and am looking forward to learning more about how they fit into your own local patch. Hats off to you sir, this is a remarkable project and I'm so looking forward to see how you progress and what changes you make over the coming years. Really quite envious. Good on you. Edit: I cannot believe the sheer variety of species you've been able to capture. Makes me very happy. As must you be. 109 birds alone... We have absolutely nothing like the potential that you do, just a few urban foxes and the occasional badger. UK is a sadly a bit lost for wildlife and ecology in general. Don't mention the rivers.

[@tymbaone1]

I recently moved from suburbia to a quiet little valley in central NY State. I have 7 acres and i'm surrounded by parcels that are as big and bigger. I'm on a similar journey of discovery. My first autumn moving in I was dismayed by the quiet songless and scanty bird population. I had three crows, some chickadees and a few titmice. Winter came and i saw deer, the tracks of a fisher and a visit by 12 wild turkeys. The highlight was seeing a bald eagle eat a fish from the creek. Then spring happened. I had started feeding in the winter and now had sightings of so many types of birds i had to keep a book by the window just to keep up. I saw foxes, a bear, many deer, some coyote, red squirrels, grey squirrels and chipmunks and of course skunks, woodchucks and many salamanders, snakes, frogs, toads. All told my mixed wooded and overgrown rather than overmown meadow is filled with life, color, and endless interest. I'm a still photographer, but seeing your videos has me thinking i need to learn some new tricks. Thank you for inspiring me to be more of a steward and nurturer of this slice of paradise.

[@dewservices]

Thanks! Really enjoyed the fox footage the most.

[@Chrixsify]

Your knowledge on flora and fauna is astounding! This is even better than some of the planet/discovery videos.

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So kind of you, thank you!

[@neolithiumproduction]

i was seriously thinking that....if he makes enough of these....one day it could be its own legit tv series.

[@Oakleyyz]

Im a very anti social person, I don’t do much outside of school, but I just recently got into birding, your videos are what really got me into it. I've never had a interest in birds, I didn’t know how much they serveved to our ecosystem until now because of your videos, now i fill my dada bird feeders every morning, i made my mother get native plants for a better ecosystem, and luckily, i live in Vermont, which means we have around the same birds. I sadly don't live fully in the woods, but we have woods close to us, along with a huge lake, I've counted about 20 bird species and seen Gray Foxes, Raccoons, Groundhog and Canada Geese (which we always have). Thank you for your video's, they keep me entertained for hours and made me realize how beautiful nature really is.

[@Chaos-pd1zd]

Very fitting that exactly 2 and a half hours into Christmas day (here in NZ), you give us an hour long video! Merry Christmas!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Hope you enjoy it! Merry Christmas!🎄

So much love from Melbourne, AU. Thank you for sharing such an incredible journey. Your videos have helped me soothe and regulate after many of my Autistic meltdowns throughout the year. Also based off of the outpouring of love and support in the comments here, your impact has clearly made a positive impact on so many of us humans around the world as well as the luckiest creatures you're helping with your property. Thank you again 🎉

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot to know the videos have such a positive impact ❤️

[@imasunshine800]

My cat is absolutely loving these videos lol. He didn’t care when I was watching it on my phone other than a quick look towards me when the birds chirped. And then I put it on the tv while I was eating dinner and he’s entranced

[@thorsvenson3530]

This might be the best video on youtube. Amazing!

[@profactsconnected]

I´ve never understood people waiting for paradise, while we are already living in it. How much life there is in a small patch of land. Beautiful nature filmed by you, thank you for sharing!

[@thefakebluejay5394]

just wanted to share: last month, my family and i were out and, while we were driving, i was just looking out the window. i spotted a few great blue herons here and there and got pretty happy since they’re actually one of my all-time favorite species of birds. (i’m not a bird expert but i always recognize these guys when i see them cause they’d show up once in a while around a pond i would go to when i was younger.) a few minutes later, i see a clearing with an ENORMOUS gathering of great blue herons and Canadian geese. there were easily a hundred of each species, maybe more, and i was in absolute awe cause i had never seen so many creatures sitting in one spot- it felt like something straight out of a wildlife documentary. i figured they were migrating and stopping there for a break and i felt so blessed to be able to witness something so amazing with my own eyes. watching your videos always reminds me of beautiful moments like that that exist in the real world. i enjoy the narration and the gentle pacing + thoughtful explanation of everything that goes into maintaining the property. it’s so educational, informative, entertaining, and interesting every single time. i always look forward to the next video 👍

[@TwoInOneBody]

as someone who's a borderline shut in and very depressed your videos always helps me calm down, bring my mood up and make me smile. thank you for these videos stefano and i hope you have a very merry christmas!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Glad I was able to bring some peaceful nature to you during the holiday season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ngl, this made me shed a couple of tears. Life, nature, is so beautiful, and it makes me so happy that people like you exist who are so passionate to help nature out.

Hands down, best video ever! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thank you for takin the time to film all of this. I can't stop smiling.😊

[@duret-robertlouis2973]

This documentary is absolutely incredible. My family has some land on rural France and videos like this motivate me to give more attention to the wildlife that we share the land with. I hope you will make more videos showing and explaining the ecology of your homestead

@@TheWildlifeHomestead Yes i am absolutely enjoying this hobby.

[@merryseamonster7219]

Love the part at 26:14 where the little bird comes up thinking you have food. Great video, very entertaining to see all the wildlife and the changes throughout the season!

[@doriangaay]

i have my own nature sighting news !! About 17 years ago some river otters were released into my area to bring up population numbers, and I saw one for the first time in the wild about a week ago near the river !! Turns out they went from endangered to least concern over the past two decades in my state, and this year especially people have been seeing them a lot

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

That's so nice to hear, congrats on the sighting! Keep your eyes peeled during the late Winter/eearly Spring, especially. Sometimes young otters will venture into weird places as they separate from the adults and try to find a territory of their own.

[@corbowo]

the chickadee landing on your hand while you were netting the pond was the cutest thing ever

[@Cyssane]

This is one of my favourite channels, hands down. I'm in Montréal and I often feel a bit stuck here in the city and not as close to nature as I would like. Fortunately we live fairly close to a large nature park, but it's also very popular, so on any given day there are lots of people moving through it, often just walking between home and work. It's certainly better than being in an asphalt desert, but it doesn't provide the kind of quiet nature walk I really enjoy, with long stretches where I don't see anyone except birds and animals. So your videos are very welcome to watch, even if they also make me acutely aware of what I'm missing! Mille mercis et bonnes fêtes!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Merci! Growing up in the West Island, I could definitely relate to that feeling. That's one of the main reasons I really started to enjoy the winter. Way less people walking around, and if I went to the lesser known parks, I sometimes wouldn't see anyone the whole day. I always enjoyed the quietness!

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Those fox pups are absolutely adorable, how lucky are you to enjoy all these critters, but especially the ones carrying for their young. New life is always a beautiful sight no matter the species.

[@Riley-w8q]

Omg what I would give to be doing this right now, all I have is a park with a few foxes that I can never see be cause they never come out in the day. Plus I am too young and really Hope that I can get a stable job and eventually make enough money to make videos like this. This is truly inspiring and amazing. Keep up the amazing work and I hope that you can keep your videos going.

[@Riley-w8q]

Also do you have a lot of stats at night? I’m just wondering because I’m going to a dark sky park close to Canada in Mackinac Michigan, and don’t really know what to expect

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

So glad you enjoy! Yes, there's virtually no light pollution out here so we do get some great views of stars on clear nights

This is absolutely spectacular. I wanted to wait until the end to leave my comment but i just cannot! This film is....beautiful. so far my favorite moments have been when you pulled the fly larvae out of the pond and the chickadee landed on your hand looking for food and then the fox kits living in your shed. I just love that the parents know their babies are safe on your property close to your house. Im sure ill have more comments before the end as im only just half way through. I just love it, beautiful cinematography, music and subjects

[@robyn7287]

Loved everything in this video but especially listening to the birds. I live in a suburb that luckily has a lot of trees and native bush land and although there isn’t a huge variety I love hearing the early morning and evening birds. We have rainbow lorikeet, noisy minors, sulphur crested cockatoos , magpies,crows, swallows, Willie wag tail but my favourite is the laughing kookaburra. There is a man mad lake in large park land and so many more water birds are full time residents including a pair of black swans that have been there a few years now.

[@planningkitten]

Your channel is definitely my favourite channel of the ones I discovered this year! It was so interesting to see your property change throughout the season! I can’t wait for what’s to come in the next year!

I own a 100ish acre farm and I barely visit- I even have a bird wtching station. My grandparents own and run it, but i'd love to get the deer hunters off of it.

Haha thanks! It gives me a reason to use my canoe to navigate the basement 😅

[@Grdiang3l]

I love the quiet humor - shout out to basement water feature and dandelion mowing machine. My goal is to one day know exactly what I'm looking at when you share those videos of animals, plants, insects with the music playing and no voice over to id. I can't wait to see what the berry/ fruit patch has to offer. This was the best "end of year" thng to 2023. I was very overwhelmed by the holidays that i basically sat this year out. This was therapeutic to say the least. Really helps me love the holidays again because holidays should really signifying the seasons changing and not what gifts to get who and what party is happening where. Thank you as always!

[@TheWildlifeHomestead]

Thanks so much! It's really nice to hear I was able to bring some peace during the hectic holidays. Hope you have a great end to the year and a happy new year, as well!

[@Kellysher]

I’m not sure if this is a native tree. We have a hawthorn tree. The berries are totally ignored until January, and then it’s a big hit with the birds! I liken it to ice wine! We have service berry bushes for spring too, as well as a peach tree that was supposed to be ornamental, and isn’t. It’s a tiny suburban lot, but we try to support the wildlife as best we can.
