Growing #Indigenous #ForestGardens
January 12, 2023, #UBC Forestry
Excerpt: "Prior to #colonization, #IndigenousPeoples managed their lands extensively, placing certain plant species at various intensities in different locations to provide food and medicines on a broad scale, Jennifer explains. Forest soil was fertilized with fish bones, similar to how gardeners use fish emulsion to fertilize their backyard plants. Fire was used to conduct quick burns to open up the forest canopy, sweeten the soil (improve fertility) and remove dry woody debris that could ignite into a major blaze.
"Many of these practices are being reclaimed and adapted in the modern context by Indigenous communities, says Jennifer, yet few are currently integrated into non-Indigenous-led, large- and small-scale forestry operations, despite their potential to improve #ClimateResiliency.
"Indigenous #ForestGardening was developed and passed down over millennia, which accounts for the sophistication and ingenuity of #ForestGarden practices."
