Leaf mold is an excellent additive to plant beds and pots. It can be used as a potting medium, either on its own or in a mix by adding other elements like perlite, vermiculite, peat moss–based potting soil, sand, etc. Obviously it’s wonderful to make your own potting medium, from both a financial and a footprint-reduction and peatlands-conservation perspective. Plus, it’s great fun and not much work. #gardening #rewilding #fall

How to Make Leaf Mold

Don't discard fallen leaves. Instead, turn them into this useful DIY soil amendment or potting medium.

Hi everyone! I'm Massimo, the person behind Inner Rewild, a small independent project exploring biodiversity, rewilding and our relationship with the living world through games, digital tools and stories. I'm here to learn, exchange ideas and connect with people working on conservation, ecological connectivity and new ways of engaging with nature. Happy to be here, and thanks for the warm welcome! #introduction #biodiversity #rewilding

Chernobyl’s wildlife: the real story isn’t the presence of radiation – it’s the absence of humans

Is radiation really changing Chornobyl’s dogs? It’s a great story, but not supported by evidence.

“In a normal park, we estimated there were about 30 species of wild bees,” says Jens Ulrich, a former University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD student who worked with the city between 2021 and 2024 to study the meadows’ ability to attract wild #bees and hoverflies. “In a park with a meadow, we saw that number jump up to something around 60 species per park – per year.” #rewilding #vancouver #bc #pollinators #meadows #parks #urbanrewilding #insects #canada

"People are poor and telling them not to cut #forest wood makes no sense. There was no motivation for them to guard the forest. "So our innovation to plant and embed #coffee trees amongst the fast-growing indigenous #trees quickly won over local communities. They realized that with coffee trees they can harvest the beans, earn from sales and exports, find jobs cultivating and tending and be able to afford food, healthcare or education for their kids." #rewilding

“The forest is us, and we are it too”

“Because honeybees aren’t native, they disproportionately love non-native plants … and that includes lots of invasive plant species,” MacIvor says. “One of the biggest visitors to a lot of these non-native and invasive plants are honeybees, [and they] then set seeds and spread.” #rewilding #bees #pollinators #gardening #honey #landscaping
