Put a large number of goats, cows, sheep, and horses in there for a while, but only once or twice a year once everything dries up. You will make friends with some of the local farmers, who may need green pastures for a few weeks, and it will help you control the plant growth.You may also want to put some pits in there every few years to mix the soil every so often to bring up old seeds from deeper in the soil.

This project is very similar to the ephemeral floodplains we are trying to restore here in Australia. We are on our 3rd la Nina event which has meant 3 years of above average rains. Terrible for the eastern coastal regions as quite a few urban areas are built right in the floodplains; many people have had their homes ruined and lost a great deal. However for the inland riverine areas it has been wonderful for the natural world. Many swamps, water meadows, ephemeral ponds have been filled with water , drowning out many invasive plant species while also giving native species the ideal environment to boost populations. Hopefully we won't go directly back into drought and get a few years of neutral weather ! Good luck with the project Mossy Earth 😃

What did you expect to happen when you sabotaged the only real alternative to fossil fuels that there is? If not for actions of not-so-good people power generation would have been ~90% nuclear by now and that means that most of fossil fuel power plants would've been closed - naturally. However, coal is important not just for power: it is essential for steel manufacturing because of the chemistry of process being used (basically C + Fe(x)O(y) -> CO2 + Fe). It can be replaced by electrolysis but that requires at least 10 times cheaper cost of electricity, which is theoretically achievable by nuclear power but not in the short run.

Greece, which is my country, and the whole of the Mediterranean coast are actually flooded by American species, Texan and Mexican mostly who thrive in the warm weather we are having. After WWII, a great deal of help arrived at my country in the form of American grains, and guess what, they were contaminated with seeds of various american plants. The livestock we have weren't exactly keen on the newcomers, and we are again flooded by invasive species....

That's such an amazing and exciting project! Our crew filmed a similar project that aimed to bring wilderness back to the UK. We had a chance to talk to people who managed to get Eurasian beavers back to Cornwall to transform their farm into a biodiversity hotspot. And also other projects, like the European bison reintroduction around Kent.

Interesting to hear the surprise that old source maps werent lying. People forget that old maps are generally accurate because the people making them were curious about findings for what they were, not doctoring information for an agenda. Thats why old gold maps are almost always accurate

I live in an area where goldenrod is native. It is a disturbance type plant that will grow wherever there is an open area like abandoned fields and pastures, as well as wherever it can find an untended spot in urban areas. Farmers can control it to some extent by mowing when it is in bloom but before seed matures. As well as preventing seeding, this seems to greatly increase winterkill -- as much as 90% of these perennials don't survive the winter if mowed at the right time. I don't know if this will work in your climate but it might be worth trying. Btw, goldenrod is an excellent bee plant, but the honey isn't especially good tasting. Beekeepers here usually leave it in the hive as winter food for the bees.

@@MossyEarth It also looked to me to Solidago canadensis which is common and native where I live in the US. Even so, it is a rampantly growing species often colonizing abandoned fields and disturbed soils. Many insects in the US feed on this goldenrod and keep it somewhat in check. The best clue to determining if this is Solidago canadensis (or its close relative Solidago altissima) is to look at the structure of the inflorescence which is somewhat triangular in outline and confined to the top of the stem. From what I have been able to find out about the Asian goldenrod (Solidago decurrens) the inflorescence is the "wand type" with clusters of flowers growing from leaf axils up and down the stem.

This year my fiancee and me 'discovered' the BlackBerries in our forest were completely overgrown by enormous amounts of 'weeds' with bell-shaped seeds.

Thank you for teaching me these plants are Common Hop. I will tell my love about this and maybe make some BlackBerryBeer in the future.😉😊

A bit of a historical addition to the "luckily for us, the Hungarians did not do the same" part: Actually the Hungarian part of the plans included a water supply solution for the floodplains. So, stopping the Hungarian side of the constructions resulted in: 1) giving away the possibility for Hungary to control the water flow; 2) cancelling the water supply solution for the floodplains - this led to the now well-known results...

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.

Thank you guys for everything you do!

Floodplain forests are so interesting and diverse! I live very close to the Congareee National Forest here in the US and love to visit the national park that's been set up there at various times of the year to see the changes.

Hooray! How precious you found that vole! You guys inspire me to work to protect nature. I’m very thankful for what you are doing and I pray to God often that you will receive help and wisdom to keep up the good work. I have been working with a wise man to control feral cats after he alerted me of the problem we have with them here in southern Illinois where many precious bird, reptile, weasel and rodent species are under serious threat because of people being irresponsible with cats and because I have seen them go into the forest at night for food I have been especially concerned for our local voles, especially after watching your channel and Rob’s “Leave Curious” channel and understanding more how important those little fellas are. Fortunately, we have been able to remove 6 feral cats from this precious marsh land and flood plain just off of the Kaskaskia river in Baldwin, Illinois. One of these cats, “Sunny,” was the first one we caught and my step son loved her so we kept her. I believe that all animals, plants and other living organisms are so precious that they are worth far more than money so people should be educated to understand how important Mossy Earth’s work is. You people give me hope that the human race can indeed save much of the glorious natural world we have been losing at an ALARMING rate. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace

Kudos to the water management team(s) at the dam for being facilitative and open to sustainable reparative approaches for their water system. 💜Can't wait to see more!

This awesomely made video is kinda the first time I really really felt like understanding how and why this is important. Great work, thank you for presenting what you do to us!

I got to see this on a much smaller scale growing up. I used to always play out in the creek behind my house growing up and after a while a lot of run down pollution sealed off half the water to the creek and you could notice plant species vanish and certain animals go missing too. Years later it’s only got two or three plant species and the only things that live in it are creek chubs and algae

Can you visit Poland? We have many rivers which have concrete floor and walls...

Great work. Keep making a difference. The world needs more people like you xx

What an amazing project! It's fun to see so many similarities with plants that we have in the Netherlands, especially the western part. Also loving the jacket at 7:27, great fashion choice

This was fascinating. Is this an area where beaver would also help retain water a little longer, (They like willow, don't they?) or does it dry out too much in summer? The complexity and interconnectedness of life is so clearly demonstrated by these floodplains, with some species actually requiring the wet alternating with the dry. I love these 'before and after' videos and am impatient for more. It's hard to live at Nature's slow and progressive pace! It was so inspiring to see more water voles getting a chance!

Beaver are in the are but they prefer streams that run all year so they are only in the permanent side arms I believe. I agree with you, I would love to see immediate change but unfortunately this is the closest we get to a "fast project" - Cheers, Duarte

@@MossyEarth There are examples in the western United States of people restoring seasonal streams into year round streams utilizing what are called beaver dam analogs. And after a number of years reintroducing beavers 🦫.

There is a natural forest flood cycle. Mostly involves beavers. The ponds/lakes they make build up nutrients in the ground then they move the dam after they eat all the good stuff in it and leave behind enriched land for plants.

It is amazing to see how humanity is capable of fixing environment as much as damaging it

here in rosario, argentina, we have a beautiful wetland that was set on fire last year by local businessmen. i wish there was someone like u here. amazing job

Great to see that change can be made to fix some of our mistakes. hopefully we have people like this in canada

This is amazing... I had no idea that you could sort of undo or go around the effects of dams like this to restore wetland habitat!

Fascinating. I'm from west germany, we basically had the same things going on here, almost identical plants that changed by how much water was present in our swampy areas. It's pretty cool to see how it affects different areas in basically the same way.

Brilliant work thank you to everyone who are participating in these projects 🙏🙏🙏

I chuckled to hear that you're trying to push out invasive goldenrod and encourage phragmites. Here in the midwestern United States, we have it the other way round! Can we just send all our invasive phragmites to your floodplain forest and have you send us all your goldenrod? It'll be like swapping snacks from our lunchboxes 😆

I agree in my kitchen i always install outlets without switches. I usually plug in things like mixers, crock pots, etc. And it's all fine. But in my living room for instance i like to have switches on the plugs that are easily accessible, i use those for light chains and then i can easily turn them on and off. But for outlets in corners, behind the couch etc i don't install switches. Also it's worth noting that in Denmark the style of outlets with switches are 50% larger than the ones without. Our normal layout is also to have an outlet with a switch under the switch for thr lights by the entrance of the room. All in all, a kitchen is different than other rooms, where switches on outlets might make more sense. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for restoring Earth, the only livable planet we know of...one piece at a time.

Very nice to see that you check your projects. So tired of projects that do random actions that doesn't sustain with the time.
