The rains have begun, and that means the seedlings we prepared back in August are ready to be planted. As we are focusing on a reforestation area that we begun last year protecting a spring that has returned, we have been monitoring its health over the past months and are enriching it with our 600 native species seedlings. Additional to last year's 800.
Designed under our permaculture zoning efforts, this process has given us insight as to low-cost and efficient ways to bring back the forest and keep the soil healthy. It has helped us understand priority setting in our interventions, use hydrogel, and the main threats to regeneration in this area.
Next year we will continue to monitor the trees and make few interventions to help them grow. This is our second low-cost reforestation prototype, along with our Natural Assisted Regeneration area, which involves minimal interventions to support an area that is regenerating on its own.
