Harvesting Nature’s Post

I'm going to have to update one of the slides I often include in my presentations on the subject of learning from nature about the possibilities of radical life extension: https://lnkd.in/epZtbnTg

In Summer 2023, FarmPEAT created this series of diagrams to illustrate raised bog formation. The series outlines how fens transition into raised bogs and become a nutrient-poor, acidic habitat where Sphagnum moss and other peatland species thrive. It can be used as a classroom resource to teach young people about the importance of the Midlands peatland landscape.

Places available on January's 'Bats & Trees' courses for arborists. I have two 1-day courses in for January 22nd and 23rd: Bats and Trees Awareness Course: designed for arborists, arboricultural surveyor, woodland practitioners and anybody who is involved with tree or woodland management. This course will teach you where bats roost and how to spot a feature that might have bats in it, as well as what to do if you encounter them Endoscoping for Arborists: also aimed at the Arb industry, this course will teach the skills needed to use endoscopes to rule out the possibility of bats in a tree feature. Essential if you are going to be making decisions on felling trees that might have bat roost potential. Both courses are a combination of theory and practical and both have the potential to discover bats in a parkland of excellent veteran oaks. If you are interested in either course then check out the website, where you can book you place, or send me a message https://lnkd.in/gnbzZjp

One of the best things we can do for the earth and ourselves is to grow a forest. But forests take hundreds of years to establish. What if you could build a forest within 3 years, and what if that forest could also give you lot of food? What if you could build this so that it becomes a self sufficient system relying only on sun, rain and air - without needing any external inputs once established ? What if you could do this in land sizes from 2000 square feet to 100 acres ? All of the above is possible - and Shihab Kp will teach you step by step, on how you can do it. Shihab has built over 300 acres of such food forests. And his live coaching program on Farmizen Academy on How to build food forests - FAST is starting tomorrow - Tuesday 3rd December, evening 8 pm. Timing: Tuesday and Thursday 8 pm to 930 pm for two consecutive weeks. Over 4 live zoom classes he will guide you in making the right plant choices across seven layers of the food forest for your location, planning the layout with correct spacing for each species, preparing the soil for fast forest establishment, plant propagation, and more. If you miss any live sessions, recordings will also be available for you. Sign up now at https://lnkd.in/gdcdf2rM We encourage all members of your family to attend together - there are no extra charges, the registration is for all members of a household.

🙋♀️ The “To mow or not to mow” pilot project team is passionate about exploring and documenting the abundance of nature on the JU Campus - today we will learn how to count plants. ☘️ HOW TO COUNT PLANTS? ☘️ 1️⃣ According to a plan prepared before the growing season, from April to October within 32 pairs of plots that differ in mowing regime (some plots are mowed once every two years, some 2 times a year, some 4 times a year, some 6 times a year, and some 8 times a year) we perform field controls. 2️⃣ Within each plot, we randomly delineate 10 plots of 0.5 m2. 3️⃣ In each plot, we make a list of currently flowering plant species. In addition to the names of the species, we include in the lists the number of flowers observed (in the case of e.g., staminate pentacarpus, acute buttercup, meadow foxtail) or inflorescences composed of numerous small flowers (in the case of e.g.: meadow clover, hawkweed, common birdsfoot trefoil). We continue exploring to discover and share more natural secrets of this unusual place. 🤎

Interesting to read.

“Exploring new waters and expanding my horizons! 🐠 Recently, I had the exciting opportunity to present a seminar on ‘Aquarium Accessories - Aerators and Filters’ as part of my open course in Ornamental Fisheries. This experience allowed me to delve into the science behind crucial aquarium equipment that ensures a healthy aquatic environment. While my primary focus is on Commerce and Computer Applications, engaging with diverse subjects like this seminar enriches my understanding and adds a new dimension to my academic journey. Learning about the technical aspects of aerators and filters and their role in maintaining vibrant, thriving aquatic systems has been both enlightening and inspiring. This interdisciplinary exploration not only broadens my knowledge base but also fuels my passion for continuous learning and application of new concepts. I’m excited to integrate these insights into future projects and discussions, bridging the gap between my core studies and new areas of interest. #OrnamentalFisheries #AquariumAccessories #AeratorsAndFilters #ScienceInAction #ContinuousLearning #InterdisciplinaryKnowledge #StudentExperience #AcademicJourney”

Whaling In today's world, data analysis tools are essential for examining complex topics such as whaling in depth. A specially developed dashboard makes it possible to visualize and analyze different facets of whaling. It is aimed at scientists, environmentalists and the general public to get a clearer picture of current whaling practices and their impact on animal populations and the environment. The dashboard presents a variety of data points, including historical catch figures, geographical distribution of whaling activities and the biodiversity of whales caught. Interactive graphs allow users to view different time periods and regions to understand the evolution of whaling over the years. This visual representation supports the analysis of trends and patterns, which are important for promoting compassion and awareness towards these majestic sea creatures.
