Restoration for ALL Species

Without bio-diversity, and without a host of different species interacting in eco-systems, and without certain elements for restoration of species, it is next to impossible to experience a truly transformed environment that gives soul satisfaction. Here are some examples to begin a thoughtful process —

• Plants require natural nutrients, protection from too much or too little of any of the elements and a "perfect" eco-system which includes the perfect amount of moisture in the surrounding air and a host of healthy microbials.
• Water creatures require clean and oxygenated water, and a host of other creatures seen and unseen that complete the circle.
• Birds require places to hide or nest, an abundance of seeds and bugs and protection from the elements.
• Humans require chemical free food and water, peace and quiet, beauty in Nature and time for contemplation.
• Flying beauty such as dragonflies and butterflies require all of the above plus specific plants for nursery duty.

Every single thing Transforming Environments™ does is done with these necessities in mind. That's how we are able to call ourselves sanctuary for all species. Furthermore, we believe that the human species needs constant interaction with all other species to mend the disconnection that has taken our world to such extreme conditions for survival. For survival, we need to live in harmony with all species.

Do you have an erynnis persius dusky wings butterfly in your yard? Chances are, if you do, the habitat in which you live has been restored, nurtured, conserved, or left alone without human intervention or development.

We do. They particularly love Dame's Rocket or Wild Phlox.

Do you have three life birds in your yard? Chances are, if you do, your birder visitor is from away and you have restored habitat and species by providing bush thickets, shrubs, nesting material, water, perfected ecosystem members, and food.

We did, for a Massechusettes woman. One hundred pounds of bird food a week are consumed by over thirty different birds that nest and rest here. Feeding during the summer allows the parent birds to raise more and healthier young. Feeding man-made toxic sugar to hummingbirds is a NO, NO! Lots of sweet flowers in the garden are all that are required.

Do you have resident deer and raccoons? Chances are, if you do, you provide special places, food and water for them too augment the meager supplies that our human development keeps reducing.

We do. We grow plants that the deer like in their meadow. We provide water where we have fenced them out of the main gardens. We provide nourishment for the old meadows. We have an agreement with the coons: food for life. They leave our ponds and chickens alone if we feed them. It works!

Do you have hundreds of worms in every shovel full of earth? Chances are, if you do, you don't cultivate your soil, you mulch everything always, you compost garden detritus on the spot, and you have a balanced ecosystem surrounding.

We do. It is such a joy to dig a hole and see hundreds of worms at work. Even lots of worm eggs. The robins come from far away and never deplete the supply. Worm castings cost nothing!

Fish or no fish? That is the question. Goldfish are an introduced species—they don't belong here. They upset the balance, breed unconditionally and destroy the ecosystem. Goldfish are voracious feeders, eating every larvae and bug: frogs and other amphibians don't have a chance. On top of that, the ponds never clear as they keep the mud at the bottom stirred like soup while destroying other microsystems.

It has been said that the frogs are to us as the canaries were for the miners. Frog populations are decreasing all over the world and we haven't heard the message. One way to provide habitat for frog and other amphibian species that are endangered is to delete goldfish from ponds.

Man- and machine-made ponds are dug without regard for the etheric web of the earth, and are frequently dug where there isn't sufficient natural earth to seal and hold water. What stress we put on the pond plants and the surrounding land as millions of microbe homes are destroyed.

In terms of etheric web, the web of the earth is like the etheric web around our bodies. Digging a pond is like us having major surgery. It is traumatic if the web isn't prepared for the changes.

Nature doesn't have a problem with us digging ponds, it just wants us to be aware and perform the appropriate energy work to eliminate the trauma to the local system. Repairing the web where digging has happened in the past is essential for species restoration.
