"People are poor and telling them not to cut #forest wood makes no sense. There was no motivation for them to guard the forest. "So our innovation to plant and embed #coffee trees amongst the fast-growing indigenous #trees quickly won over local communities. They realized that with coffee trees they can harvest the beans, earn from sales and exports, find jobs cultivating and tending and be able to afford food, healthcare or education for their kids." #rewilding https://www.rewildingmag.com/the-forest-is-us-and-we-are-it-too/

“The forest is us, and we are it too”

How native forest in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park is getting a helping hand from an unlikely partner: coffee farming.

“Because honeybees aren’t native, they disproportionately love non-native plants … and that includes lots of invasive plant species,” MacIvor says. “One of the biggest visitors to a lot of these non-native and invasive plants are honeybees, [and they] then set seeds and spread.” #rewilding #bees #pollinators #gardening #honey #landscaping https://www.rewildingmag.com/the-trouble-with-urban-beekeeping/

The Trouble With Urban Beekeeping

Trying to help the bees? Here's why experts say it’s time to rein in the honeybee craze and turn to pollinator gardens instead.

Once Upon a Forest: A Twig Poet’s Rewilding Journey (18 mins) As a child, Maria struggled to fit into a conventional life. But the forest—with its gnarled twigs and quiet strength—offered her a path to healing and purpose. Now known as Sweden’s “twig poet,” she transforms nature’s remnants into powerful sculptures and poetry. She replanted thousands of leaf trees that tried to grow in ditches or under electric lines and wouldn't have had a chance there, and put them in her family's bark-beetle decimated spruce monoculture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5ozGHIK03A #rewilding #forest #sweden #ClimateAnxiety #BarkBeetle #ClimateChange #restoration #NatureTherapy #Biodiversity

Team activities on August 5, 2026. 1. Harvest and wash elderberries in the pleasant conditions. 2. Observe a variety of pollinators on the native plants, the painted lady butterflies are numerous. 3. Plant more native plant starts as the existing plants bloom. It’s rewarding to add diversity to the habitat as the existing native plants are feeding pollinators. #threegoodthings, #minnesota, #nativeplants, #pollinators, #rewilding, #Zone4b

"Rewilding is often presented as a wildfire problem; when you stop grazing, cutting or burning, vegetation accumulates and there is more fuel for fires. But this is not the full story. Carefully planned rewilding that focuses on restoring functioning ecosystems can make landscapes wetter, patchier and more fire resistant" #Rewilding #Wildfires #Nature How rewilding could help stop the spread of Britain’s wildfires https://theconversation.com/how-rewilding-could-help-stop-the-spread-of-britains-wildfires-288968

“It’s easy to understand that when people arrived on this landscape, that it was a landscape that was shaped and maintained by #fire and that it was exquisitely beautiful,” White says. “It’s easy to understand that traditional knowledge of fire should be integrated into fire management practices today, but, man, that’s hard to achieve.” #rewilding #forests #wildfires #forestmanagement #landmanagement #stewardship https://www.rewildingmag.com/indigenous-forest-management-a-culture-of-burning/

European settlers to North America marvelled at its landscapes – then banned the traditional practices that created them. Now, it's time to bring them back.

With the climate crisis clearly getting worse year on year, these long dry summers mean more and bigger wildfires. What does this mean for British woodlands and other fragile ecosystems, as is there anything we can do to limit the size of wildfires in the future. #Biodiversity #Rewilding #Wildfire #ClimateCrisis https://protect.earth/articles/what-do-wildfires-mean-for-british-woodlands/

"If you put less mycelium, it may take longer to grow. Put a lot of mycelium, it grows faster. Slight temperature changes and humidity levels will also affect it. "I embrace that part because I don’t want the lingzhi to grow all the same. It’s like individuals – we all grow differently and so do my sculptures. I see them as individual lives." #rewilding #art #mushrooms #creativity @davidsuzukifdn@kilogram.makeup https://www.rewildingmag.com/the-artist-building-sculptures-out-of-living-fungi/
