This is indeed the best way to preserve and maintain a Forrest. These animals do turn over the soil which in turn allows the oak leaves to compost faster. Which in turn will feed the chickens and pigs in the form of insects. Their manure which in turn will fertilize the soil which will attract more insects, which go on and restore the soil and most importantly the top soil. Which in turn will cause biodiversity. It leaves you beautiful Forrest as a end result.

I believe it has to be done judiciously. You can't just let the animals have unlimited access year round. Careful rotational grazing leaves behind manure etc. which fertilises the soil where upon grasses can grow which help with erosion nourish the soil and provide a biosphere that in turn feeds the trees and helps to retain moisture.

I have 30 chickens and 4 ducks at one point on 5 acres in front of a national reserve. All negibors had 5 acres minimum and sometimes much more but were all backed by these same reserves in a culdsac type setup. I let them free roam. Turned my 10x12 shed into a roost and they came out when then wanted and returned when they wanted. Best fertilizer and I barely needed to feed them because they scavenged everything from the land itself. They are fine to free roam but wildlife can be determential to them if they don't roost properly or have some sort of protection. They are very hardy animals and don't need much care in the right enviorment but one swipe can kill a whole flock if you're not paying attention. Had what we call the chicken holocaust. Had 30 and woke up to 29 beheaded chickens from what we believe to be fisher cats. Can happen and will happen in time but that's apart of them having freedom is being susceptible to wildlife.

People don't realize that nature stocked the land with wild animals in great number. Since those are depleted, restoration requires us to add them back into the equation with adaptive grazing of domesticated animals.

That looks green, but if you do it for too long, no new growth is happening. At some point you need to let younger trees take seed and grow, which wont happen with that much pigs and chickens. Best example for damaged, overused forests are the oak-forests of the mediterraneans which are used just this way, but they have no underbrush and all the trees are old and dieing. Remember to give it time to rejuvenate, too.

The appalachian forest should not be grassy. You are damaging the native understory and removing insect/bug/snake/salamander homes. Dead leaves with slower decomposition is a good thing. Shrubs and saplings are a good thing. Grass should be rare in this particular type of forest.

Yes you are correct that this can destroy a Forrest but it really depends on how you manage the livestock in your Forrest if you let pieces of te Forrest rest to give young trees a chance than you can actually restore it.

​@@Tzreoaor I don't have a degree, but I do know that historically, large herds of ruminants existed all over the place that would come through and "hurt" fertility into the land. This does not really exist most places humans dwell in numbers. Furthermore current science supports the idea that land and soil restoration requires those large herds of ruminant animals to regenerate the soil. The current science also suggests that applying rotational practices to mimic the patterns of migrating herds has proven to be similarly effective in regenerative practices. But, again, I don't have a degree. Now, I do understand that utilizing modern recommended agricultural practices involving large herds of animals is ultimately destructive. However. there is a balance to be observed when it comes to these things.

I would like to see more comparisons between what the forest used to look and how it looks now and if it's something that can be scaled without the need of modern feeds or antibiotics.

I first learned of this through polyface forms in Virginia. I've recently been looking at buying about 500 acres in Canada because it has a lake on it and five rivers, but I would like to try this type of farming. Do you ever allow volunteers to come and volunteer or work with you guys for a couple of months or a year? I've seen how the system of bringing in pigs to move the Earth quite a bit, helps heal the Earth and reinvigorates the Earth with worms, followed by chickens which eat some of the insects, and then cows. But once it's healed it looks like you bringing cows which eat down the grass, followed by pigs followed by chickens and at the end of it you have a rich soil that's literally black from how healthy there soil is. And, when you dig you find dozens of if not hundreds of worms with every shovel.

It is awesome how you have figured this all out .

True meaning of "grass is greener on the other side" that's amazing.

Everything you do is beautiful and I wish more people were like you….
