I recently bought a nature homestead in the backwoods of Quebec, where I hope to attract as much wildlife as possible.
Join me as I conserve and manage the land, explore the forests, and search for all of the wildlife that lives here. There's a lot to discover and much to do over the coming years. I can't wait to see what shows up!
The two charities I'll be donating to for the month of January are:
Help People ▶ Feeding America: feedingamerica.org
Help Nature ▶ Audubon Society: act.audubon.org/a/donate-stepped

  • I love this! Those ponds are so good for the wildlife in the area. Some suggestions to what you could do with them: -Build a shallow creek leading to one of them for added circulation and oxygen, bathing spot for birds, easy acces drinking for mammals and reptiles and for adding to the beautiful scenery :) - Make a marshlike shallow beach area with lots of vegetation for insects and amphibians to hide in. Amphibians need shallower waters in the spring that warm up quickly so the eggs hatch early and have a better chance of survival, and dense vegetation for hiding from predators and getting food. Shallow planted areas are also very good for filtration and oxygenation. - Plant more plants! Water lilys can sit both in the deeper and half shallow parts and help with excess nutrients and hiding spot for animals in the pond. I'm not familiar with the native plant species there, but the more the merrier. Both fully aquatic and marsh plants. Since it's so deep it won't get overgrown easily. Try to plant them in the bottom instead of planters for a more natural look and they'll be able to spread out. - I'm not sure about introducing fish or crayfish to the pond, maybe just some small minnows like you said that won't disturb the balance too much. Any bigger fish might eat the tadpoles, insects, plants and ruin nursery spots and scare off amphibians. And with amphibians thriving they'll feed the birds and other predators around the pond. I'm sure you'll do wonders with this place, I look forward to following the process!!

  • Good initiative man. As a child (I was about 5 yrs old) we had a small cedar acreage on Vancouver Island. I absolutely loved the feeling of all the old trees with streams and dense forest. Long story short, we moved to New Zealand when I was 7, now I'm 50 but that feeling of the cedar forest had stuck with me and at the age of 45 I bought a 45ha hill with the pure goal of reforestation and facilitation for natural New Zealand ecosystem. Sounds like a similar path you and I. My job mostly consists of weed control and pest control - New Zealand has many imported invasive weeds and pests that will obliterate the native biodiversity. It is a grueling project, but it makes me feel good. Good luck with it.

  • Warning for the pond: adding species (fish) is totally different from encouraging new species to come by adding flowers for examples. I'm always concerned about introducing any specie in natural areas. BTW, I suppose that you choose local flowers species for your meadow of course. 2 questions / suggestions for your ponds: A. Could your ponds become shelters for seasonal migratory birds species? If yes, what can you do to help them during their journey (probably same kind of initiatives than the ones you took around your small pond) B. Do you have bats during spring / summer seasons ? If so, you could add bat shelters on the roof of your towers and/or in some trees. They are mostly endangered species.

    Жыл бұрын
    • Definitely plan to setup bat boxes around! I'll be curious to see which birds migrate through this spring/fall. Once I have a list, I'll be looking into habitat to setup to help them on their journey

    • as for myself, I realize how important bats are in our ecosystem back in 2013 when I was backpacked in Costa Rica. I visited the Bat Jungle Tour created by a known specialist Dr. Richard K. Laval. "While bats account for nearly a fifth of the planet’s biodiversity, more than half of the known species have unknown or declining populations" Anything you can do will be great ✊

  • Salut! I'm in BC and am envious of your setup. I got a couple suggestions/ideas/ambitions. 1)Making your meadow: I really liked your standing/sitting blind. The thought occurred that you could do something similar for your meadow. Set up something between a hobbit house and a bunker so that you can maximize your sights while keeping it unobtrusive. 2) Around Costal BC we have a TON of wild birds that go nuts on local berries, you might want to get some native berry bushes set up and planted. On one hand it can attract bears, on the other hand if it's sufficient distance away from your living area they'll also attract birds and other critters. 3) Consider using a small portion of your funds used for charity to also go into bird seed for your feeders, use your views to keep the birds fed.

  • Congrats Stefan, looks like a beautiful place. I live on 5 acres and your pond build inspired me to create a place on my property for birds and other wildlife. I built a small photography blind and have really enjoyed sitting in the blind for a couple of hours now and then and observe and take photos. It's becoming my happy place.

  • Nice, I planned on building a small pond like you did this upcoming spring and I'm also staring work on our timber, about 60 acres, this spring to make some better wildlife habitat and feeding areas. So basically I'll get to follow along as you do the same thing and hopefully learn some things. edit: typed this before watching and your plan with the hunting blinds is actually my same plan in our woods. second level for birds in trees and to spot animals coming then first level with windows along floor for other wildlife

I would personally like if you could set up habitats for all the different types of animals so that it can become a property teeming with wildlife. All the best!

  • Broo you're using your money FOR GOOD and got such a positive impact on nature by sharing all these magnificant clips that can really reawaken peoples fascination and love for it. You (two) alone perserve and create sooo much space for other species and a healthy ecosystem to thrive, I swear it makes up for at least ten other people not doing so. I'm truly interested in living more in this way but currently still at university, so the steps I take are restricted to my balcony. Seeing where you're at and what you're creating gives me a lot of drive and hope at steering towards my own future. Hopefully you meet many more people with whom to enjoy what you do and love - wishing you the best for this projects and the ones to come!
