What keeps me sane over a weekend marked by fascists' attempts to destroy our 🇷🇴 democracy is working around garden. Mulching the apple trees, fertilizing the soil w/ old manure and hanging out with my 🐓 & 🐕
Spring is not here yet, but work is plenty to be done.

9/ Brenda Maria Zonderer from the Institute of Landscape Development, Vienna, assesses the diversity of #rewilding practices in Europe. In the absence of a legal framework these initiatives are bottom-up processes, promoted by non-state actors responding to local challenges.

Spent the first day of 2025 documenting changes in the rich biocultural landscapes of the Southern Carpathian foothills. Birches and alders 🌳 taking over pear orchards, decaying water wells, and crumbling fences put down by 🐻. #forestRegeneration #agriculturaltransition #rewilding
