I recently bought a nature homestead in the backwoods of Quebec, where I hope to attract as much wildlife as possible.
Join me as I conserve and manage the land, explore the forests, and search for all of the wildlife that lives here. There's a lot to discover and much to do over the coming years. I can't wait to see what shows up!
The two charities I'll be donating to for the month of January are:
Help People ▶ Feeding America: feedingamerica.org
Help Nature ▶ Audubon Society: act.audubon.org/a/donate-stepped

I think with that much land, you have to decide whether you'll be helping injured wildlife or not. It's very likely some of the larger animals may need medical care, as is the way of nature. It's up to you whether you let things take their course or get involved, but if you do choose to get involved, you're going to want to talk to the local wildlife protection charities and figure out what you're going to do the first time an injured lynx starts hiding under your porch.

Good initiative man. As a child (I was about 5 yrs old) we had a small cedar acreage on Vancouver Island. I absolutely loved the feeling of all the old trees with streams and dense forest. Long story short, we moved to New Zealand when I was 7, now I'm 50 but that feeling of the cedar forest had stuck with me and at the age of 45 I bought a 45ha hill with the pure goal of reforestation and facilitation for natural New Zealand ecosystem. Sounds like a similar path you and I. My job mostly consists of weed control and pest control - New Zealand has many imported invasive weeds and pests that will obliterate the native biodiversity. It is a grueling project, but it makes me feel good. Good luck with it.

@plantedtanks Жыл бұрын

I love this! Those ponds are so good for the wildlife in the area. Some suggestions to what you could do with them: -Build a shallow creek leading to one of them for added circulation and oxygen, bathing spot for birds, easy acces drinking for mammals and reptiles and for adding to the beautiful scenery :) - Make a marshlike shallow beach area with lots of vegetation for insects and amphibians to hide in. Amphibians need shallower waters in the spring that warm up quickly so the eggs hatch early and have a better chance of survival, and dense vegetation for hiding from predators and getting food. Shallow planted areas are also very good for filtration and oxygenation. - Plant more plants! Water lilys can sit both in the deeper and half shallow parts and help with excess nutrients and hiding spot for animals in the pond. I'm not familiar with the native plant species there, but the more the merrier. Both fully aquatic and marsh plants. Since it's so deep it won't get overgrown easily. Try to plant them in the bottom instead of planters for a more natural look and they'll be able to spread out. - I'm not sure about introducing fish or crayfish to the pond, maybe just some small minnows like you said that won't disturb the balance too much. Any bigger fish might eat the tadpoles, insects, plants and ruin nursery spots and scare off amphibians. And with amphibians thriving they'll feed the birds and other predators around the pond. I'm sure you'll do wonders with this place, I look forward to following the process!!

hunter's provide 60% of state wildlife funding, yet only account for 5% of the US population. you would be hard pressed to find someone who cares more about the long term health of the environment than those of us who continue to live off the bounty of nature. and more to the point, to live is to eat and to be eaten.

Warning for the pond: adding species (fish) is totally different from encouraging new species to come by adding flowers for examples. I'm always concerned about introducing any specie in natural areas. BTW, I suppose that you choose local flowers species for your meadow of course. 2 questions / suggestions for your ponds: A. Could your ponds become shelters for seasonal migratory birds species? If yes, what can you do to help them during their journey (probably same kind of initiatives than the ones you took around your small pond) B. Do you have bats during spring / summer seasons ? If so, you could add bat shelters on the roof of your towers and/or in some trees. They are mostly endangered species.

@StefanoIaniro Жыл бұрын

Definitely plan to setup bat boxes around! I'll be curious to see which birds migrate through this spring/fall. Once I have a list, I'll be looking into habitat to setup to help them on their journey

Жыл бұрын

as for myself, I realize how important bats are in our ecosystem back in 2013 when I was backpacked in Costa Rica. I visited the Bat Jungle Tour created by a known specialist Dr. Richard K. Laval. "While bats account for nearly a fifth of the planet’s biodiversity, more than half of the known species have unknown or declining populations" Anything you can do will be great ✊

@karnadyjuan Жыл бұрын

honest question from a city dweller : isnt it safe to add native freshwater fish there ? fathead minnow for example

Yeah adding fish to a pond usually doesn't encourage other pond life like frogs and such. Since it's already fish in one pond, I'd keep the other free of fish.

Salut! I'm in BC and am envious of your setup. I got a couple suggestions/ideas/ambitions. 1)Making your meadow: I really liked your standing/sitting blind. The thought occurred that you could do something similar for your meadow. Set up something between a hobbit house and a bunker so that you can maximize your sights while keeping it unobtrusive. 2) Around Costal BC we have a TON of wild birds that go nuts on local berries, you might want to get some native berry bushes set up and planted. On one hand it can attract bears, on the other hand if it's sufficient distance away from your living area they'll also attract birds and other critters. 3) Consider using a small portion of your funds used for charity to also go into bird seed for your feeders, use your views to keep the birds fed.

Words cannot express how happy I am for you. I lived quite remote for a few years and they were some of my best. It's just different. And you'll love it. Congratulations.

Best KZfaq content I've stumbled upon. Your videos are full of exactly what I enjoy seeing when I'm looking to relax but also learn something. Congratulations on finding this property. It's a true gift when you can work every day in a field you're passionate about. I'm looking forward to watching all your adventures in 2023.

This is only the second video I have watched but the content is amazing! It's like watching your videos just sucks you in and you don't want to stop. I'm also really loving all of the support I see I have never seen so many donations in the comment section.

You're the man. Would love to see a 24 hr live feed some day/year down the road. I know there's a lot to something like that. Thanks for the all the relaxing content you bring to the world.

I came across your latest pond video which made me watch this one and now I'll be watching all your videos and definitely keeping up to date with how your Homestead comes along. Your narration and videography is absolutely wonderful!

Wow, look at Sparrow! I watched your pond video & was so appreciative of all you had done for conservation in your area & taming a feral cat that could have devastated the bird & wildlife population was the cherry on the cake.. To see her so tame & loving indoor life warms my heart!

This is literally my dream. I always wanted to own a large property in the wilderness where I could view wildlife. Glad to see you be able to pursue this incredible dream. Personally I'm very excited for the pond. I would stock it with minnows, bluegill, and smallmouth bass.

Congratulations on your new Homestead.... what a wonderful Christmas. Bee hives and Bat houses would be great in your new wild flower meadow... Appreciate your videos and all the beautiful animals and birds you film. I just found your channel and can't wait to see what you guys do with your property. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.

A person after my own heart, thank you for the videos and the adventures. I'm a long time amateur wildlife and nature photographer that finally moved from the big city to Bend, Oregon. So much wildlife and beauty to see and capture. This video definitely provides ideas and inspiration. Looking forward to more.

another great video. I'm relatively new to wildlife photography, based in Ontario myself. ive been watching your pond videos as they have been a massive inspiration for me for when my wife and I are able to finally get our hands on a property. quebec was definitely a consideration. I am so glad you guys were able to achieve this! for now, i will wander the fields and trails of Northern Ontario and continue to improve my craft. thanks for all you've shared with us, and i cannot wait to see this project unfold.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys do with this property. It's amazing that you can and will take us all along for the journey. The ponds look incredible, and trout?? ah man! The meadow is a great idea too, could draw in some new species. Pumped for this. Congratulations to you both too - I really hope we can do this someday too.
