Natural abundance right now

Natural abundance surrounds us now. Apples, chestnuts, corn, osage orange “brainfruit,” and much much more. We scramble every day to snag wild apples along road sides, pick up chestnuts up the street before the squirrels eat them, and toss a few funky looking “brains” from a Lancaster farm road into the truck bed.

All with the intention of planting them on rural properties we manage.

By introducing new seeds to a given piece of land, we increase the species diversity and DNA stock on that piece of land.  Like Johnny Appleseed of old, we kick open holes in the dirt and pat a seed or apple core into place.

True, turkeys, bears, deer, chipmunks, and squirrels will eat much of what we plant. But if we do enough, some will survive.

And from there they will grow into trees and shrubs, feeding wildlife and people in the future, thereby perpetuating nature’s abundance.
