I have been planning my native climate adapted food forest for about two years, and yesterday, with the garden finally enclosed from deer, I planted the remaining trees and shrubs I preordered early last winter - two of which are endangered species, Butternut and Red Mulberry. It is kind of surreal.

Just finished making this ornate bushcraft deer fence gate. The posts are discarded cleared trees from my yard and/or neighbor's (saved for years for such projects). Woven sisal rope, cedar branches, and stone counter-weight that keeps the top branch raised.

Pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), Turtle Island's (North America's) largest woodpecker, visited our yard today. I line my paths / bordered my garden beds in my rewilded / young climated adapted native food forest with old logs that have had many woodpecker visits over the years. #Rewild

Beavers are nature’s chaotic engineers! By building dams and creating wetlands, they help filter pollution, create wildlife habitats, and protect against wildfires. Ecohydrologist Emily Fairfax studies how beavers reshape ecosystems. Plus, she was a science consultant on Pixar’s “Hoppers”.

Laws only matter to the Republican Regime if they are leverage, otherwise are completely disregarded. If there is a time for mass civil disobedience its now. Anything they try to shut down, ignore their demands. Virginia, ignore them, listen to the people and Redistrict anyway.

This is it. The glove has been thrown down out in the open without hiding intent. The Republican Party are admiting to be Confederates. The Cold Civil War is now Hot. #USPolitics #USA #USpoli #USColdCivilWar Click to view full image

Sandhill Crane visited this morning. Two days ago they were flying in for a direct landing but saw us humans and noped off. I am finsihing the south deer fencing and gates this week, and I am wondering if the sandhill crane will be landing here after that. #Wildlife #Rewild #NorthenOntario #Canada

My Spring Activities! Finished my Bushcraft Wattle Deer Fence out of the trees that Rewilded naturally on my property! Any that were not suitable for wattle fencing were put with the brushpile deer barrier made earlier this spring. I am now installing posts for the south side that will be netted 1/2

Why I expect the next technology shift will be higher efficiency in energy use. In data - all our programming made to be streamlined and digital equivalents to minimalism; and everything that can, having a passive design equivalent as a standard appliance, e.g. passive solar for heating and cooking

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

We don't have a choice. Big industry is working with the state to impose overconsumption and dependence on their products. Explains Julia Steinberger - @jksteinberger.bsky.social Professor of ecological economics at Lausanne University. Full episode: www.planetcritical.com/julia-steinberger/

Viet Nam is scaling up wetland restoration in the Mekong Delta. Phase II of the regional government’s Climate Resilient by Nature project will run to 2029, restore 1,750 hectares of freshwater ecosystems, and expand farming models that have already cut emissions. buff.ly/RLKor91 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Let this be his legacy.

The sandhill cranes returned again this year, same pair as last year and the year before that was the adolescent male who was a regular throughout the summer of 12024 H.E.

Looked out my window a moment ago assessing for Spring Garden plans and saw a Mourning Cloak Butterfly that had come out of hibernation puddling on the still damp path 🦋😊

Renewable Energy as the standard for new installations is here. The slashing of Renewable Projects and propping up of Oil by this US Regime is the last gasp of a dying industry.

When reading on how rights have been won - for Women, Black, Indigenous, and Disabled People - they were always fought for. The majority Public Opinion already supports Immigration. Now its time to heap more pressure on the Representatives, especially since they now Avoid Public Consultations.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation. For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

I saw that Avi, the leader of the federal New Democratic Party, is proposing Proportional Representation and while I agree that it is certainly better than First Past The Post, I also believe it is an outdated choice. 🧵 1/3 youtu.be/l8XOZJkozfI?...

Avi Lewis: "When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

The NDP family is bursting with talent.  Tanille, Tony, Rob, Heather — each of your incredible campaigns have made our movement so much stronger. Let's get to work and rebuild this party together.

Identifying as "White" is, by its very design, saying you are a bootlicker. I know it can be confusing but that is how its always been since "White People" were invented in 1681. For an explanation, read the alt text in the image or the following thread #White #Racism #WhitePrivilege

Just got a phone call from the township and was told we Won! 😁 Honestly thought we lost because it has been over a month since the competition 😅

The USA is probably going to collapse in the near future if they don't address the national debt ASAP. And if Canada makes the right moves can come out on top, not just geographically, but on the world stage.

The Whitetailed Deer had a few antics today, one has the strangest pee pose and dance I had ever seen, later eating Eastern White Pine (must be not much available now with such a long winter), then a peck with a shove response Videos in thread 👇🧵 #WinterWildlife #WildlifeGarden #RewildGarden /|\

As I opened the curtains this morning, each window revealed more deer, all slowly getting up or moving out, starting their own day. Only after breakfast did I find a likely reason they were all in the vicinity - they drank all the water from my heated birdbath ⛄♨️🥤🦌 🐦💢

Temporary Foreign Workers are now a major political topic in Canada right now, but are phrasing it as something Justin Trudeau owns - its not that straight forword though. thetyee.ca/News/2015/10...

Today the Whitetailed Deer herd (Odocoileus virginianus) were taking advantage of the hardened snow to browse maple (Acer), ash (Fraxinus), and oak (Quercus) twigs that they previously could not reach. #WinterWildlife #Wildlife #Ontario #NorthernOntario #Canada

This looks delightfully like a speech-bubble

Looks like I don't have to worry about needing a tail bracer on my suet feeder for the Hairy Woodpeckers (Leuconotopicus villosus) The last photo, also from today, shows a Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens) for a size comparison #Woodpecker #WildlifePhotography #GardenWildlife #Ontario #Canada

The Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) has been a regular visitor to my homemade Balsam Poplar (Populus balsamifera) woven suet feeder. This is the first time I have seen them feeding from underneath though! /|\ Follow thread to see the vole! #WildlifeGarden #WinterWildlife #Rewild

Update on my homemade Balsam Poplar suet feeder. It has managed to attract Blackcapped Chickadees, Whitebreasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, and a Hairy Woodpecker - though the feeder was too smaller for pecking. The next one I make with have a tail bracer for them #WinterWildlife #WildlifeGarden
