hello all,
i just bought a place in colorado that is in costilla county. it was bought sight unseen. (i live in Texas) i have now seen it over google earth and think there is a potential to start a forest permaculture plan. The land is baron and has 11.6 inches of water per year, 51 inches of snow and is a relatively flat area, it is 5 acres and has wild horses, and deer that pass through. Does anyone here have any experience turning the baron land to forest. I think that putting up some swells and berms in place would be the first step. i feel if i can be successful in this endeavor it would start a chain reaction with the other properties around the area and once everyone saw the difference that permaculture can make in an area like this one it might help the area to start to realize the potential this area can have. The whole subdivision Rio Grade ranchos has been looked down upon since the 1970s and was called worthless property by the CDC. . so with all that said. Does anyone think this is a doable or feasible plan
