Permaculture lands you do not own. Public lands. A force of reforestation and gardening for us by us that can provide a new format to live in harmony with nature, and to stay moving and traveling while eating divinely. I think this is how we are supposed to live, if it was not for our cockyness telling ourselves we know better.... anyways check it out Guerilla Permaculture Guerilla Permacultureand let me know what you think I am starting a plant-based podcast on tropical permacultureGAUNTLETS PODCAST too.

Lots of stuff in that link Brandon. I look forward to reading all of it.
One area that comes to mind are energy company right of ways. I have 3+ acres of them and that’s where my blackberries went. They can run all they like.

Bold Move! I like it!  Yeah Maybe we can finally thank God for this beautiful land and do bio-art all over it as intelligent being in an Avatar movie like ecology we create.... when we are done fing around with motors and straight lines and are ready to get to the next level.... the real super science the one with limitless potential and intelligence...... there must be a nuclear recipe for growth.... hmmmm   mad scientists we are, energy companies and their accesses will be nothing compared us soon!

It's worth noting that utility companies are required to keep their right of ways clear of trees and weeds. This is necessary for access, to repair damage. It's a condition of their license to operate.

So, don't be surprised if your guerilla garden in a utility corridor ends up being mulched or sprayed. There are probably better places to experiment with this sort of thing.

So true Douglas. I went through the whole process. I had someone come out and talk to me about my plans. Then I applied for a no-spray exemption and was approved. I had an entire small garden and wildlife area going. The next year a group of guys came through and sprayed. I was pissed. Even though they hadn’t sprayed my plants the surrounding larger vegetation had been hit. I was no longer interested in putting a lot of effort into maintaining and planting it. The past two years a fellow has came to mark off the area to make sure none get sprayed. I still consider it to risky.
We maintain a mowed area on my neighbor’s property for a large, diverse deer plot. He is not on the no spray bandwagon but they don’t spray it. It has to be a tree or shrub to get it here. Not sure about other places.

Agreed, anything food-crop-wise is pretty dicey without official sanction, and that has to come from pretty high up in the company.

There are ways to do this, if you are willing to play ball with them. Ideally, form a community association that makes a proposal for a section of their corridor. They are increasingly hungry for the opportunity to generate positive news, and companies aren't always entirely evil as they try to square the circle of demand vs. impact. But there is some hassle involved. You will probably have a strong urge to have a shower after some meetings, and gargle with something strong. But there is some movement on their end these days. It's an opening to incremental improvement IMO.

Yet here's a much simpler approach: there's nothing wrong with bulking up the food mix for pollinators and friendly animals. A sack of white clover seed (as a hypothetical example) goes a long way to strengthening the food web in your broader locale. If you're inclined, you could harvest deer and rabbits or (insert your tasty local fauna here). Or ...?
