Conservational Plans
Recycled Food Forest
Once we are fully established on our lands, we will begin to offer workshops, tours & educational retreats for guest to experience the property. Guests will experience & learn how food is grown, harvested & prepared on site. Food services will be offered thru companies and organizations for hire, which share the same principals and objectives as PGF. Guests will participate in harvesting ingredients to eat in a natural setting and participate in the process of creating meals, learn how to compost any waste, and learn methods of saving/ storing & re-planting seeds that were harvested from their meals. PGF will require volunteers and guests to eat produce harvested on the property of PGF grounds on site; leaving 75-100% of seeds from their meals to be re-planted that were not consumed during their meals.
This in turn will accomplish our goal of creating a self-sustaining recycle experience using the established food the land created.
Natural Methods
No form of toxic chemicals will be used on the properties we obtain. The vegetation will be 100% organic and non-GMO. The fruit trees developed will be for food and conservational purposes. PGF will conserve the variations of plant species while providing essential habitat for plant and animal species. The fruit trees will provide food for the public and wildlife. 10% of the land development will be dedicated to native species of animals, natural pests and disasters. 90% of the development/produce will be utilized for the natural ecosystem, human consumption and educational purposes.
Biodiversity
We value the importance of biodiversity within the ecosystems we are conserving. The definition of biodiversity (biological diversity) is the variety of plant and animal life on earth or in a particular habitat. Insects, marine life, birds, reptiles, mammals, marsupials and more all play a valuable role on earth. With the network of life brings total balance. The earth mother provides a diverse network of life force energies that coincide with one another.
As we stated in our "Natural Methods" section, PGF will conserve the variations of plant species while providing an essential habitat for animal species. While doing so we plan to allow the natural balance to occur with animal species and "pests". We understand the more diverse the ecosystem the more balance and harmony will occur, which in turn will create a natural rhythm/ cycle for the lands we will conserve.
Natural Pests
“If you talk to the animals, they will talk with you, and you will know each other..."- Black Elk
Pests commonly hold a misconception about them. Often times pests hold a negative view from crop destruction and or attacking livestock, however, they can be a key role in offering the opportunity of balance and harmony, if we keep a diverse environment available for them. The more "mono" or singular an environment is, the more susceptible an unbalanced ecosystem becomes.
Education
PGF is looking forward to offering educational projects for guests that visit our locations, to learn all about species diversity and their essential role to the lands we conserve. We believe the more informed the public is to the natural world the more harmony and value will be granted with mankind's understanding of nature. Some of the educational projects we will offer:
- indigenous ways of living
- raw vegan and vegan food preparation
- wildlife identification and care
- farming skills & seed storing
- sacred plant medicine ceremonies
- harmonious ways of living with the natural world & much more.
Our vision includes hosting educational tours & workshops of the lands we occupy by showing people the animals that are freely abundant on site and in action. We will show how predator and prey relationship benefits the land and brings balance while learning of the plant life surrounding us.
Set Up
Individuals that will be volunteering their time on the property will have housing available to them. All houses will be completely off grid, powered by solar panels. The structures will be designed by a committee of sustainable architects, utilizing the latest technology in substantiable & biophilic architecture. Facilities will include rainwater catchment, solar power, geothermal heating/cooling and built with local natural materials and materials readily available on site. We are open to learning and applying all clean effective energy methods for our facilities. Housing will be for investors, work exchange & volunteers.
