I am a husband, a father of 2 teenage girls, and a Canadian. When I'm not building #statamic and #LaravelLivewire sites & apps, I'm at Crossfit, reading a book or watching a show. Occasional traveller. If you do not support diversity (in all its forms), I'm not sure we'll get along. My posts are searchable via https://tootfinder.ch

This feels very much like a Fediverse thing…I’m looking to re-wild my backyard.
Anyone know someone in Metro Vancouver who could help me?
Boost for each please.

In one of the #TNC26 talks (part of the Rebooting the Old Reliables session) one of the speakers mentioned an article about "Rewilding the internet". It's been around for a few years but is a fascinating and inspiring read…

TURTLE (OR TORTOISE) TUESDAY
☀️ In the southern Sahara, where degraded, baked, crusted soil prevented any seedlings to establish, ecological restorationists dispatched 500 "ecosystem engineers."
More commonly known as African spurred tortoises, the ecotechnicians went to work digging burrows to avoid the desert heat and cold.

🌧️ Water stayed in the soil. Plants grew. Insects and microorganisms moved in, followed by birds and small mammals.
🛰️ From space the region even looks alive.
✅ This is another example of a successful low-tech nature-focused rewilding effort. (Recall my incessant beaver updates.)

Both look green… but only one is a real forest 👀
This land used to be a palm oil plantation. Today, it’s a thriving forest.
15,240 trees planted in partnership with FKL 🌳 And we let nature do the rest.
In just over a decade, the landscape recovered.
