On some of the pines you will let stand, you should strip the bark in a circle around the trunk. This create standing dead wood which is very important for nesting animals.

I've been watching your for about 2 years and I am still so impressed with your work. The way you shoot videos of animal behavior while incorporating trail cams creates a very interesting narrative. I also admire your efforts into fixing your land to better accommodate more animals. They way you are improving the pine barren is honestly pretty revolutionary and maybe more national and state parks should copy your example.

Hey Stefano,Big fan and a fellow wildlife enthusiast here but if you feed the birds Birds become reliant on humans and they change their behaviour, number, and social if structures. If they become too dependant on you when you move out ( hopefully you don't) they will forget about their natural instincts to hunt. You should allow for them to find food as it is nature's own beauty, survival of the fittest:) love your vids

So happy to see the post! You are living my dream! I hate seeing monoculture, BC has few forests left most of what was logged was just replaced with giant tree farms. Years ago, I knew a guy who use to gather wildflower seed and tree seeds and would walk through some of these monocultures spreading the seed. Not sure how well it worked but it made him feel like he was contributing in a positive way.
@StefanoIaniro 13 күн бұрын
That’s a great idea! Especially if doing it early on, the trees haven’t grown enough to close the canopy, so I’m sure a lot of the seeds he threw would do well initially.
