Have you considered building swales too? To actually retain the water by keeping it on the spot and make it sink into the ground to refill the groundwater? Sure, trees will eventually help to do that, but in such a dry landscape you should really combine your tree planting with building swales as that would multiply the effect of your good works.

they do the swales where they plant the almond trees so they are still on one line. the wild tree species are more randomly dispersed and they catch water by being planted inside of a hole in the form of a "mini-swale" kinda. with a mound on the steep side

Love it. It was interesting hearing the specificities of reforesting Murcia. Here in my area you wouldn't try to shade oak saplings but do the very opposite: you need to replant oak saplings from shady to open areas if you want them to grow and not die at about the age of four.

Thank you guys

instead of planting trees dig trenches, fill them with coconut fiber, so the rain water can stay in the land, creating a micro climate in those small ditches, throw tree seeds in clay balls to allow them germinate. . digging trenches next to big trees is always better, plant ground vine that create cover - morning glory, sweet potatoes that grow and dies regularly if it does not freeze murcia.

Ты крут! Я тоже сажаю выращиваю и сажаю деревья!

Thank Y'all for having Murcey for Mother Gaia. As likely many here have heard, non-$ellout scientists have said we have but a decade to plant 1.2 trillion trees so to avert climate chaos. It's known forests stabilize climate. Forests are known to be key to nature's hydrology, which is how forests create fresh water in abundance all the way inland. Reforest coasts & river riparian zones would capture & sequester carbon from slipping into the ocean where it has a devastating acidifying effect. This basically restores nature's carbon sink the oceans were never meant to become. Great gratitude will pour from posterity, if we can forge a future for generations to come.

Whilst it would seem an alien concept to most almond orchard owners, if they inter-planted the almonds with other tree species, possibly a mix of fruit/nut bearing trees & nitrogen & or potassium soil fixing trees & introduced a mixed ground cover, their production rates should increase dramatically, erosion & water usage should do the exact opposite accordingly. A food forest effectively. As things stand, those almond orchards are basically desert landscapes.

They should look into the Savory Institute and grazing management to replenish grasslands and the carbon sinks.

@@BeBraveToAct I live and work in a farming community in Missouri. I have family and friends who are farmers and I grew up working on farms. Every farmer I know is happy to do this kind of work on their land because the farms have belonged to their family for generations in many cases and they want the land to be healthy for their children. The key is one when you engage with them acknowledge their expertise and show them respect. Then show them how this makes their farm more profitable in the long run and how it can lower their costs for inputs. I know farmers that spend $500,000 last year on fertilizer. They are listening but you have to show them it is scalable. It's not easy but when they implement they do it on a scale so much larger it's incredible.

Best idea to save forest is to Stop eating animals, so you don't need much land to keep them and feed them. Instead eat, tree based fruits, Instead of crops based food, which need to clear forest area for farming. Instead of packaged milk, have cow at your home milk them love them. Be intouch with animals, birds, forest and other flora and fauna.

Sadly Spain fucked up. It's not devoid of trees because dry and desert like, it's dry and desert like because they destroyed the trees. Overgrazing and removing forests for farming have led to this. It'"s true for most countries on Earth, but when you're in a Mediterranean climate, it doesn't regenerate quickly if you screw up. Greece, Italy, Southern France are all in the same boat. They destroyed their forests for grazing; and now their forests will take centuries to grow back. It leads to droughts, landslides, further destruction of the soils, and ultimately desertification. Spain looks like Arizona in so many places, which is why it was used to film westerns. But before the middle ages, it was all forests and rivers.

Hey Nicolas, I also think that was mainly the reason why Murcia is in a such state right now. Good point, but the question is what we will do about it.

Were is Marcia?

Planting trees sounds like a great idea, but the reality is far more complex. Was this ecosystem here previously? If not, then will the new one they are creating ultimately die out? Have the local almond plantation stolen all the water from this area? These people clearly have good intentions, but the road to hell was paved with good intentions. I should know, as I have walked down it on many an occasion. As Kermit would say, it is not easy been green.

Consider the environmental impact of your journey to a reforestation camp. You'll probably find one nearer home.

You may want to look up websites such as: Rewilding Britain, Reforest Britain, Cairngorms Connect, Trees For Life (there are a few more if you want to look around, and you could also contact your local Environment Agency/SEPA office if you want to connect with local groups. You can sign up with Rewilding Britain to access their map and information on independent projects).
