#Rewilding #Spain [Alvelal]

I'm not even sure this one can be under the heading of Rewilding.
It's more about #Regenerating and #Agriculture than wild animals and flora.

It's also about the utterly #Destructive aspects of human inpact on nature for profit.
Devastating #SoilErosion and #Drought.

And a man, comming home after decades abroad, seeing the changes of place of birth.

Quote by E:
"Farmer Manuel is over 60 years old and fully retired, yet he continues to plant trees. Not for himself, but for future generations. He remembers how rich the landscapes of his home region once were — now he feels it’s his turn to give back to nature and to those coming after him."

many mines in the Black Hills faced declining production and eventually closed.

But #MiningOperations continue to this day, particularly in areas where modern exploration techniques have revealed new #reserves or where mining methods have become more efficient. Mining in the #BlackHills has had significant environmental impacts, including #deforestation, #SoilErosion, and #WaterPollution, resulting in #conflicts with #NativePeoples who consider the Black Hills to be a sacred site.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts found that the rate of #SoilErosion in the Midwestern US is 10 to 1,000 times greater than it was before modern #agriculture practices reigned supreme across the region. The study found that before modern agriculture, the rate of soil erosion was vastly smaller than what is now deemed an acceptable amount of erosion by the United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA.

Debris torrent at site of recent culvert replacement. This should not have happened. There hasnt been enough rain to cause this under normal circumstances. A salmon bearing stream runs a few hundred yards below this road failure.
The equipment operator pulled out all the coyote bush by the roots adjacent to the site, and accidentally changed the rd hydrology just enough so water came straight down the road instead of into the culvert.
Notice the coyote bush that wasnt pulled, on the left and right of the debris torrent has not slid. A lesson to be learned, let coyote bush stand near culverts outlets. And road equipment operators who understand hydrology are extremely rare, and worth their weight in gold.
Lucky i collected a bunch of ca wild blue rye grass (Elymus Glaucus) earlier in the year from this site. I will seed it this week.
