Wild, Recombinant Fruit & Nut Forests of the Lower Clearwater River, Idaho

I paid my first visit to the lower Clearwater canyon on September 5-7, 2016.  I was so excited by what I saw I am writing this report the day of departure.

The lower Clearwater canyon (the bit that I saw) is one of the best examples of a wild food forest that I have ever seen. One of the North American counterparts to the wild fruit and nut forests of Kyrgyzstan.

Syntropic Agriculture

Here is a youtube of a guy in Brazil that has come up with something he calls Syntropic Agriculture.  Very much along the lines of permaculture and analog forestry. Great example of a large-scale system (1200 acres). Ecologically and economically looks good.  Some of it is pretty straight-lined but some looks wilder. "Life in Syntropy" is the new short film from Agenda Gotsch made specially to be presented at COP21 - Paris. This film put together some of the most remarkable experiences in Syntropic Agriculture, with brand new images and interviews.
