Squirrel NewsIn today's edition, we're talking about the first river in <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#England</a> to have its legal rights recognised by a local authority, the mission to repurpose an aging ocean liner as the world's largest artificial <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/reef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reef</a>, and how the practice of <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/silvopasture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silvopasture</a> is reducing deforestation in the Amazon👇<a href="https://squirrel-news.net/news/first-english-river-granted-legal-rights-ocean-liner-becomes-worlds-largest-artificial-reef-hotel-for-cows/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://squirrel-news.net/news/first-english-river-granted-legal-rights-ocean-liner-becomes-worlds-largest-artificial-reef-hotel-for-cows/</a>

"Making a forest patchy is easier than making an open grassland patchy, since it’s easier to chop down trees & for open-ground plants to colonize the gaps. Making an open, grassy location patchy means planting trees (& them surviving) in places too dry or cold to support tree growth. LAND WITHOUT PEOPLE MAY HAVE LESS BIODIVERSITY "Many people today advocate for enhancing biodiversity by minimizing human influence on landscapes. Often this takes the form of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rewilding</a>, which aims to “let nature lead”. Yet our results suggest that in many places – though not all – minimally human-modified landscapes had fewer different types of plants. Often, human disturbances enhanced rather than eroded biodiversity. Indeed, many of Europe’s biodiverse places today are traditionally managed, low-intensity farmlands such as Alpine meadows & the dehesas & montados in Spain & Portugal.

Chuck Darwin<a href="https://c.im/tags/silvopasture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silvopasture</a> protects farms against the two words often not spoken on farms:"If you mention '<a href="https://c.im/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#change</a>,'" Payne said, "it stops the conversation."On Payne's 300 acres are the seeds of what will become 10,000 <a href="https://c.im/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a>. There are also <a href="https://c.im/tags/sheep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sheep</a>: 800 ewes and 1,000 lambs grazing on grass. It's part of a method of farming called silvopasture. Payne and others see it as a solution for <a href="https://c.im/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainable</a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/friendly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#friendly</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#farming</a>."Silvopasture is not new," said Ashley Conway-Anderson, who teaches at the University of Missouri's Center for Agroforestry. Silvopasture refers to 🌟 intentionally integrating livestock with forages and trees. 🌟 It creates an ecosystem vastly different from the rows and rows of typical farms."I think it's our responsibility, being in the position that we're in, to be as responsible as we can with the land that we have," Conway- Anderson said. "It still provides a lot of really high-nutrient density food. It manages landscape in a more ecologically friendly way. But it is productive."It's also built for more extreme weather. On this day on Payne Farms, it's 35 degrees with 30-mph winds. The sheep use the trees as a windbreak. In the increasing and intensifying heat of summer, they'll use the trees for shade.<a href="https://scrippsnews.com/stories/old-farming-methods-draw-interest-as-climate-environment-demand-them/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://scrippsnews.com/stories/old-farming-methods-draw-interest-as-climate-environment-demand-them/</a>

Jeff McFaddenWe need to park all the cars, all the airplanes, all the trucks, all the diesel ships, and rejoin Earth and the rest of life. We have the knowledge - various schools, but <a href="https://spore.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/agroforestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agroforestry</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/silvopasture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silvopasture</a> - we would be drawing CO2 from the atmosphere at untold rates, binding it in soil, biomass (including microbial and arthropod). None of these statements is physically controversial. I read in some major league science mag this week that we could put some wonderful number in topsoil. Yes
