The Willows of Bungonia
มุมมอง 6534 ปีที่แล้ว
The Willows of Bungonia. Bungonia, NSW is home to a beautiful stretch of Australian creeks, rivers and wetlands. Bungonia Creek is supported by a grove of willow trees which naturally slow and filter the water. Unlike manmade constructions which speed the water up, fast-tracking erosion and flooding. The willows of Bungonia have kept the landscape hydrated throughout the long drought. But now, ...

Climate change 🤔 or bad government policies 😂
This is Aussie Farming. SOME POINTS He does Not Say what Sort of Farming this Works with. He does Not Say if You can Drink the Water or If there are Fish in the Water. Also as We Know with Cubby Station the More River/Creek Water One Farm Keeps the Less there is for Down Stream Farms. Since this Video the Amazon has come under Huge Pressure from People wanting to Farm. Australia Currently has a Production Forestry Shortage. Australia Continues to have a Water Shortage. New Large Scale Science Methods of Food Production Still Don't Exist. Fossil Fuel Based Transport Remains the Largest Farm Activity. Interesting Topic.
‘Australian of the Year’ for this man at the very least 🇦🇺 and the State and Federal Govt’s should financially support programs working in conjunction with Private enterprise to adopts Peter’s work ..
Peter has such a great understanding of the environment. He cant be ignored. Farmers should follow his ideas and ignore the water authority rules. Trying to deal with useless Bureaucrats is worse than a Nuclear bomb.
Peter explains the ecology in round about ways. He would benefit by reducing the message to a couple paragraphs such as : slow the water in the channels, then plants will grow and add tilth / top soil that acts like a sponge much better than the eroded subsoil. Spread that soil higher in the watershed so it will act as a larger sponge and slowly release much more water into a positive feed back loop that will bring the land to health via the enhanced soil storing much more water than the current scenarios of depleted soil. I do think he would give grazers/ cattle more credit if their grazing was managed in rotation such as Allan Savory encourages. That gets the cattle themselves to passively move soil uphill.
very beautiful image. great
Great 1000 like
To be clear it’s not us or we that are doing the damage to our environment. Most people care about our ecosystems and want to do the right things. It’s the corporate government policies and geo-engineering that are the destructive force behind the degradation of our environment.
Wetland systems are the cornerstone of river ecosystem function and health. The Europeans took the beavers out of the system and drained the wetlands for agriculture and peat moss. The flood and drought scenarios still plague Europe. This approach is not unique to Australia, it's pretty universal. Healthy water courses should flood as many times as possible from the top of the watershed to release energy and deposit sediments in the floodplain.
Thanks for the inspiration of this message! People like Peter Andrews and Joel Salatin here on the American continent need to be promoted to positions of authority.
Again People perish for lack of understanding. Bureaucrats regurgitating what they are forced to do are the ones destroying Habitats with diabolical stupidity.
I just can't believe how incredibly inefficient, ignorant and detrimental our current agricultural practices are!
Looks like the project is based on the Australian Peter Andrews Mulloon project (natural sequence farming)🦘🇦🇺
just for example, if im on say 100 acres and ive got this pond, creek setup how does that help the rest of my 100 acres hold water? im missing something here but very interested in peters work and that of tony coote etc. ive seen how green parcels of land are from peters work, just dont understand how the small creek/pond setup helps the rest of the property. any advice or resources explaining this would be great thanks all
G'day Murf, it's like putting a plug back in the sink, to reconnect the flood plane to the creek/ pond. In a big rain event, the flood plane can be recharged, rather than the water rushing off the land very quickly.
@@beatriceludwig6002 ahhh right. the water spreads and soaks in rather than just washing away downstream. im looking at buying land, ill definitely being doing more research and implementing this. thanks for the quick reply beatrice
@@beatriceludwig6002 so if you dont have a creek or river running through your land, you could still achieve this by putting in a series of ponds maybe to replicate the storage area? im trying to do some research, just wondering about this point that was raised. ill try find something specific on this scenario. thanks

Common sense and clarity in explaining the obvious, it hurts to know how right Peter is on these critical ideas. God Bless you and those who seek the healing of our dear and beloved Planet.
Great example of Beaver Dam Analogs, even if they are nature-made. We use BDA's throughout the US because they're quick and easy to build, yet do a great job of protecting the slopes from erosion. If more folks would get on board, we could save gobs of water from leaving the land in a hurry!
God Bless Peter and any like him, who devote, devoted their lives, their time in their lives!!! Thank goodness to God for such individuals as not all individuals are liken to them. 'Harvest plenty, laborers few'. The earth needs beautiful hearts of people to help ensure its beauty and care.
Great job, great video! A shame so few have seen it..
The proof, as it’s said, is in the pudding. What he did with his land is astounding. It’s mind boggling that the world isn’t flocking to the way he did it.
The north eastern states can't hog all the water from the south eastern states, but, slowing water travel down is different to dam building. Dams do not reduce evaporation the same way. Laws are usually about the dam building for water intensive agriculture. That's a perspective to come from if changing legislation. Otherwise Queensland can grow cotton and Victoria can't grow fruit.
I can't believe that this methodology hasn't spread like wildfire yet. You've done an amazing thing, and it's only a matter of time before it does. Thank you for all the information you've put out!
So what do you implement in those very heavily eroded areas like 3:00-3:30 to prevent further erosion?
The first step, if he was here in the US, would be to armor the top edge with rocks layered only one high and spreading back upstream at least two or three, with the smaller pebbles being on the uphill edge to stop the water from piping under the stones and undermining the protection. Then, a "rock rundown" at the base of the waterfalls in order to prevent the water from digging a deep pool. Downstream from there, not too far, we'd install Beaver Dam Analogs to slow the flow and collect silt. The BDA's are identical to what you saw in the video, small dams a foot high that will hold back water and spread it out. You can also use what's called a Media Luna construction if you have more rock than wood. The idea it so slow the flow and spread it out wide so it sheets over the land rather than forming those erosive streams. Where the ground has already given way, all you can do is things like armoring the head cut and building BDA's in the valley so the damage is halted and repairing can begin.
@@threeriversforge1997 Yeah righto. It''s interesting to hear different methods for achieving such things. Thanks for the response ✌️

So beautiful yet simple and as the bible says sometimes the most simple things confound the wise. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Where are Willow's from? Australia right? Then leave them alone!
Thank you very much for all your hard work. I am very grateful.
From here in the States we say BRAVO! Thanks for sharing and the very best of luck, and carry on. I was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and we did some missions with some of your mates in IV Corps.
willows help dry up relatively wet soils.
Thank you
A good mulch farming system example is Paul Gaultachi "Back to Eden". And also the Documentary on Black Indian Earth"Terra Preta" on how Amazonian Indian Ancestors farmed prior to white man is Fantastic and the principles of Peter Andrews.
Yes agree, it's about farming according to that particular country. Peter got much of his knowledge from growing up with aboriginal people in Australia who lived with the land. Using techniques that come from Europe just aren't appropriate to Australia's environment.
Sad thing is our top soil is even graded away in subdivisions before houses are built on them.
Been going through Peter’s various clips and every clip teaching crucial knowledge. He is a genius! I cant wait to get my hand on his books!
Did you end up finding any of his books? I'm going to start researching to find them.
Where's your evidence.
It's in the video Owen: th-cam.com/video/awLDaK0Zy-w/w-d-xo.html Also: landcare.nsw.gov.au/groups/bungonia-park-land-manager/
@@TALSInstitute Sorry I meant evidence that willows are good for slowing flows and maintaining the water table, wetlands etc. Peter Andrews has some great ideas but not sure about willows. In NZ at least they are terrible. If anything they speed up flow by narrowing channels, they also threaten to completely eradicate all our native wetland habitat. Native plants are the answer, always.
@@owenwoodward4467 Always is a strong word to use in landscape restoration. In any conversation there will be multiple perspectives to consider. Here's a scientific report that you may find useful: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.1080.8395&rep=rep1&type=pdf And a research paper by someone who was previously an advocate for willow removal: theconversation.com/willow-trees-are-notorious-pests-but-for-freshwater-animals-they-could-be-unlikely-climate-heroes-152609 And a story about a landscape practitioner who won awards for willows removal but who now believes these programs are going too far: th-cam.com/video/vD8ifi5Ruac/w-d-xo.html And we could also share plenty of stories of farmers who were saved from the bushfires by willows, poplars and other water trees. So if we are talking about the Australian landscape as it once was, then all native species may be a more appropriate target, rather than our current landscape which is heavily grazed, cropped and pyrophytic, requiring perhaps a more adaptive and integrated approach. Cheers!
@@TALSInstitute Thanks for your in depth reply. I agree that succession is a more desirable outcome than clearance. It doesn't seem entirely feasible to me though as from everything I have seen from them the willow will just grow further out into the water and continue to displace native habitat. You may be right though on your last point. Maybe they are the best tourniquet for now. At least in absence of full catchment scale, long term restorations.
This video implies it's clearing willows that is responsible for the deeply incised and eroding steep stream bank shown over and over. It is increasing drainage speed by various methods, definitely not the clearing of an exotic tree that is the cause.
thank you for posting this video, so much to learn from Peter,
Wonderful man with amazing but logical story to tell. Peter is a true national treasure and his techniques need to be applied broadly across this nation.
Our smallish farm has the only willow trees left along a river that had been cleared by government. It is such a bonus to it. Cool, calm, holds some water on land, and the cattle love eating it. They clear up the leaves as they drop Thats the only green thing we had left on the farm last drought. The only downside is the European wasps love them.
For a few years, TALS has been one of the most inspiring groups for me. Well done.
Beautifully filmed and edited. Would liked to have seen the NSF map for a bit longer I do hope such nice packaging more people will be attracted to and understand Peter's work. I am thrilled with how the things I have applied already have worked. Just got to play the long game. Thank you for this work.
IT"S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! AS previously noted it is high time we GET RID of State Governments and their bureaucrats and "require" Local Government to "just do the job". They have the capacity if legislation requires them to do so. EG Australia Defence is managed by ONE government NOT seven. Similarly a Police force could have one set of rules (why do we have 7 sets of road rules in Oz?); health etc, etc! With that in mind and using Peter Andrews as an example we may just get our act together and create a more dynamic country, which is not based on greed. Another eg: Why was one of our Federal Minister's company given millions of dollars (for water licences) which were sent overseas, rather than put into our "system"?
Wonderful. Any proven solution in these difficult times should be supported in every possible way!
I is a tragedy, that australians dont have more visionaries like him. Europeans intensive farm methods are completely inappropriate for arid countries and devastated australia or sahel land.
We have loads and loads of thinkers and doers like Peter Andrews......they just don't control the reins of power. I'm reading Charles Massy's 'Call of the Reed Warbler' and I recommend it to anyone wanting to understand these issues.
@@barrybr1 Sound interesting. Can you name some ot them ? In my country - SLovakia a friend of mr.Andrews is living. He has similar opinions of water management.
Australia is lucky to have people like him but it's disheartening to hear that the system is so resistant to the environmental improvements.
All korean coalmine now....Australia shamelessly has the best politicians money can buy.
