Rancho de la Libertad

If you're interested in learning how you can more deeply participate in or support our mission of building community sovereignty and stewarding abused land, you can find options for in-person or financial participation on our website:

rancholibertad.com/participate

We just opened our Supporter tier, and look forward to offering more opportunities to support locally and from afar in August. Those who subscribe at the Supporter tier receive a twice yearly gift basket of goodies from the Ranch (the first will be sent in December) as well as access to participate in quarterly Q&A posts.

You will also know (perhaps most importantly) that you are tangibly supporting projects that enable us to better serve residents (now and in the future), guests seeking sanctuary, and the land. Projects such as tree planting, renewable energy infrastructure, sustainable building, animal stewardship, sustainable and place-sensible food production, and more.

We are so grateful to you for your interest and collaboration ✨

Native forest regeneration failure

Logging devastated Victoria’s native forests – and new research shows 20% has failed to grow back

"Following the end of native logging in Victoria on January 1 2024, the state’s majestic forests might be expected to regenerate and recover naturally. But our new research shows that’s not always the case. "

"These degraded areas no longer hold the value they once did and they cannot provide the same level of ecosystem services such as carbon storage, water purification, or habitat for wildlife."

"With no current government restoration plan, these landscapes will remain degraded indefinitely. Our research suggests leaving nature to its own devices would mean losing a fifth of the forests logged over the past 40 years. Bringing the trees back has multiple benefits and would be well worth the investment."

Beautiful plan!!!!

Permaculture and rewilding groups and books would have info like that. Chelsea Green Publishers carries that sort of thing generally, and is a worker coop. Rodale is great for organic and natural, restorative farming and gardening.

Nature to the Rescue - A Treehugger Article

"Avoiding pollution in the first place would be best. But as we transition to a post-carbon future, biological solutions can help us find a path forward."

"Bioremediation is a fascinating area to explore if you are interested in ecology, ecosystems, and nature restoration. This is the process by which we use plants, bacteria, or fungi to clean up contaminated air, soil, or water. There is a wide range of natural processes that can be co-opted to clean up the mess we make.

We all know that human development often comes at a cost to the environment. Many landscapes and ecosystems have been severely degraded by human activity—and polluted by industry and poor waste management. But the good news is that bioremediation techniques can be utilized to remove or reduce pollutants and "fix" ecosystems that have already been damaged.

Here are a few examples of bioremediation, which serve as illustrations of what can be done... read on..."
