Good morning dear friends.
#Today I'm very keen to start making contact with people who are #active in
#rewilding,
#SocialForestry,
#RegenerativeAgriculture,
#SlowTheFlow, etc.,
ideally in #Cymru or the wider #UK .
I'm hugely inspired by this podcast series, https://www.petermichaelbauer.com/the-rewilding-podcast/ . Do have a listen if you haven't already.
I pray for a tidal wave of interest and engagement in this field, if we are to quickly overgrow the broken ignorant systems that we have inherited.
All this recent flooding has inspired me to trrumpet loudly about #slowtheflow and everything to do with enacting it on a large and practical scale. This and other examples to follow. Let's #brainstorm before the next #rainstorm.

@[email protected] The devastation of flooding is dreadful to see. Especially when there is so much we can do to improve the management of the movement of water through our landscapes. There is so much we can do to improve the health of our farmland soils. βFor a silty-clay loam every 1% increase in soil organic carbon equates to a water holding capacity of 354 000 litres a hectare to a depth of 30 cm.β https://www.nfuonline.com/updates-and-information/soil-organic-matter-and-increased-water-holding-capacity/ #ClimateDiary
Ecological services associated with #slowtheflow have monetary value to the commons.
#whattheheck is #stormwaterrunoff and #lawnbegone are #slowtheflow classics that never go out of style
Thank you @[email protected] for supporting this project. β€οΈ
