UK farming has lost 60% of its insects in 20 years. Industrial agriculture is breaking our ecosystems.
But there's another way.
Join our Becoming a Regenerative Farmer training and learn to grow food that heals the land, builds community, & actually makes money.

Bonus: grazing herbivores reduce wildfire fuel loads while creating natural firebreaks (see GrazeLIFE study, Portugal). 2 animals, 1 regenerating system. This is the work across the ERC movement. Real land, real data, real impact.

The cascade: Selective grazing → wildflower diversity ↑. Dung introduction → beetle colonization → bat/bird activity ↑. Trampling → microhabitat creation. Fur/dung → seed dispersal. They've even self-optimized fencing routes. This is applied restoration ecology. 🔄

This isn't theory. It's proven strategies from people who've lived through megafires and rebuilt. From understanding fire ecosystems to mid-fire action to long-term land management. For landowners, practitioners, and anyone ready to take meaningful climate action.

The Wildfire Resilience Training brings together 16+ experts: permaculture designers, soil scientists, pyro-geographers, wildfire mappers, and natural builders. The approach? Reduce risk. Respond to heal land + community. Regenerate ecosystems. 6 modules starting Feb 2026.

Meet Matthew Trumm. In 2018, the Camp Fire destroyed Paradise, CA. He responded by founding the world's first mobile disaster response camp. Then another fire hit his family's land. For 7 years, he's been learning what actually works for wildfire prevention + post-fire recovery.

Living in a fire-prone area? Managing land that's now wildfire-threatened? Here's what most people don't know: you CAN fireproof landscapes. But it requires re-engineering ecosystems, not just defensible space. We've gathered the experts who know how. 🧵

6,557 acres under restoration so far. Universities are monitoring long-term success. Community ownership is growing. The model works when you match the solution to the specific damage, not just plant fast and hope. What other damaged landscapes need this approach?

But it's more than trees. It's jobs. It's permaculture training for local farmers. It's showing that restoration can be both ecological AND economic success. The coal industry took farmland and skills. This is bringing both back.

The No. 4 Farm nursery sits on reclaimed mine land from the Wolf Creek #4 coal mine. They're growing 1M+ native trees using these Champion genetics. Each seed gets species-specific treatment: stratification, scarification, whatever it needs to thrive.

Renew Appalachia is putting this into practice. Community members identify and collect seeds from Champion trees across Eastern Kentucky. White oaks (pressured by bourbon barrel production), crab apples (critical bat habitat)—species that matter locally.

Here's why it matters: A tree seed from 100 miles away might struggle in compacted mine soil. But a seed from a local Champion white oak that's survived 80 years in similar conditions? That genetic adaptation is the difference between 30% and 70%+ survival rates.

Enter 'Champion trees.' These are the survivors—older native trees that have adapted to harsh local conditions over decades. Their genetics hold the key: resilience to poor soil, local climate extremes, and the specific challenges of this landscape.

A century of coal mining left Appalachia's forests devastated. Compacted soil. Invasive ground cover. And here's the problem most people miss: standard reforestation methods are failing. Fast-growing trees can't survive these conditions. So what works? 🧵
