Practicing permaculture is resulting in more diversity in wildlife at the homestead

The number of birds and variety of species seems to increase every year here at the homestead. This spring I came across several bird nests many of which were in the pastures.

Wild turkeys make their nests in the thick grass of the pasture, only to be revealed by the sheep as they graze. Interesting how the sheep managed to avoid stepping on the eggs while they were in this paddock.

By leaving a wild rose bush here and there in the pasture, cardinals are able to make their nests. By keeping are pastures diverse and giving them lots of time to recover habitat is available to support a greater diversity of wildlife, especially the birds.

Second year on ours and we are seeing similar increase in wildlife diversity. I’ve let things grow instead of mowing everything barren like the previous folks. Listening to a cacophony of birds as I type this. Well done and 🍻.
