Some Things I Learned Assessing Site and Regional Challenges
- We have way more challenges than I thought.
- Crop dusting doesn't just affect us from the adjacent field to the west. It's from the nearby fields to the east and south too.
- Shade is both a challenge and a solution. The difference is in getting strategic with it.
- There are so many opportunities to tie this project in with what I want to do in town re: Permaculture Club and the wood chip business. Synergize for multiplying effects.
- Of natural disasters, wildfire is the least of our worries. If you don't count the natural disasters that just don't occur here, like avalanche.
- There's a lot to do with trees and resilience to natural disaster. I didn't realize that deep rooting and wind resistant trees can make such a difference.
