🌱 Join us to rewild the planet: planetwild.com/join/m15
Power lines cut through natural habitats and destroy ecosystems to connect our cities and feed them with electricity.
In our 15th Planet Wild mission, we’re rewilding the space under power lines to reconnect fragmented habitats and create more biodiversity. By transforming these barren areas into flourishing meadows, we’re creating insect highways and providing sanctuaries for native plants and endangered species.

One potential issue could be that the increase in bugs encourages even more birds to interact with the power lines. Causing more deaths to birds, and damage to the lines. This could be negligible though.

The Mossy Earth folx might want to try teaming up with the Planet Wild folx on some projects that would be too big/much for either community to tackle by themselves. Planet Wild seems to be structured and funded in the same/similar way as Mossy Earth, so teaming up with them could possibly make integration an easier process & working together could feel more organic/symbiotic & cohesive than it would be with a group that differed in organizational structure or funding methodology in some way(s) which makes working on a project as a team with them a more difficult, complicated, and/or unpalatable prospect.

@coolestdude11111 Месяц назад

As a utility forester for a large power company in the US, I am responsible for maintaining all vegetation growing along thousands of miles of transmission lines. I’ve often thought the same ideas in this video. The main problem I see is that the land will still have to be intensively managed to ensure nothing grows taller than 15-20 ft if it’s right under the lines. This would require specialized education for crews to discern desirable species vs non desirable. I think it’s possible, but it would only be practical if it is able to be done at the same cost as current management techniques or cheaper unless someone else pays for it.

@planet-wild 23 дня назад

Yeah, these projects are more complex than one would imagine - lots of players have to be willing to go an extra mile. Clearly, our project was closely coordinated with the power line company, involving dialogue at all stages from planning (where to do what) to implementation (how to do it there). So, the company is fully onboard. With the help of Planet Wild's pilot contribution, ProNatura will be able to access funds that are needed to cover long-term maintenance costs (as applying for those always require own funds in the first place).

@@Oxol33 the only vegetation that could be grown in these corridors would have to be quite short, no medium or large trees anyway so ideally they would just be prairie or scrubland which is easier to spot undesirable species from a power company perspective. Ideally, they would be maintained with fire but that can pose many logistical challenges, especially in dry areas. Mowing may be the only way to manage some areas but that can get expensive and time consuming. It also does not mimic natural disturbance as well.

Something worth pointing out is that those paths where the power lines are built are also great at preventing fire expansion in case of a forest fire.

Please consider to show local insects as part of local arthropods, and it’s ok to emphasise they’re critical food for birds etc or those more charismatic toads.

@catslikewitches1332 Месяц назад

About 25 years ago we had a weasel couple having their den under our concrete terrace. Our late neighbor, a hunter, had spotted them as his dog went crazy. Due to them beeing a candidate for the "red list", he warned us about them. So that year we didn't use our garden. After the young were born and weaned we could watch them during dusk/dawn playing in our garden. They didn't return for unknown reasons and I hope they found a better place ... Anyway, as you seem to have the space for it, I wanted to ask you to place some bigger logs or other pieces of wood on it. Those are not only used for a variety of insects, but are needed by hornets (the queen hibernates there during the winter; hornets are part of the insect "policeforce"), but also by wood bumblebees.

It's amazing how little effort it takes to provide habitat for non-humans, but how much effort humans put in to destroying it. Here in Kentucky they come thru every couple years, unannounced, and indiscriminately herbicide spray any woody plant taller than 3 feet, across a 40 foot swath the whole run of a small rural electric line thru the property I live at. I'm hoping "NO SPRAY" signs will stop this, but my land is a very small segment of what these contracted crews that have little to no training, and aren't local residents are doing.

What a fascinating idea. Of course a lot of powerlines cross arable and pasture land, rather than going through forests, but even so, there is a huge potential here. Landscape fragmentation is one of our biggest issues, with new roads being built all the time and carving up the countryside into smaller and smaller pieces. So if your powerlines cross roads, I hope that wildlife bridges can also be included. One of the nice things about this scheme is that so many small groups of people can get involved and join their own, separate rewilding inititiatives into one long pathway.

@louisegogel7973 Месяц назад

All roads would do well to incorporate wildlife over and underpasses at regular fairly close intervals… ie for frogs crossing the roads on wet warm nights.

@houndofculann1793 Месяц назад

Even with them passing through farmland or pastures they will pass through forests in regular intervals, and often the farm/forest edge has a small line of meadow plants so rewilding the powerline in a forest between two farms would still help pollinators travelling. Especially if the either or both farms are for some kind of flowering plants.

Good question! These landscapes will need maintenance, just like any other space under the power lines would. Regular inspections and vegetation management are part of the power lines maintenance routine anyway. The difference is that in this case, the company will be maintaining the meadows that do good to nature. The whole project is done in close cooperation with the company that in charge of the power line, including the maintenance work. So, they are aware of the situation and obviously agreed to it.

You have to look up The Wild Robot :) Soon to be a film.

I have always thought of the pylons as women, and once wrote a poem about them, personifying them as Norns spinning out the threads of our lives.

That's a REALLY smart one. Even the electric company will have less work trimming the area as you can choose the plant species that are low enough

I would be curious about how/whether this can be shared to places with wildfire danger? Arcs from old power lines start a lot of the big fires in Northern California, so I see why the trees are cut back. It doesn't seem good to have a dry strip under the power line either, so maybe there could be a way to use small plants there even in the redwood forests.

This reminds me of how tempted I get to just toss out some local flower seeds out into the barren wasteland that is ditches.

That's a great idea! Are there any agreements with the government and the power providers to ensure the protection of the rewilded areas?

@planet-wild 24 дня назад

Of course! The whole project is done in close cooperation with the company that in charge of the power lines. So, they are aware of the situation and obviously agreed to it. 👍

I am 100% interested in a career change. Currently work in higher-ed as a career counselor but I NEED to do direct action while making a living. Please let me work for you or your collaborators!! I love insects and vehemently love nature.

One of our favorite birding places in Lancaster, PA is at one of these power lines clearings. Birds love the patches of blackberry brambles, elderberry canes, sumac and so many other shrubs. Last year I was devastated to see that an established clump of elderberry was sprayed and had died. It was illogical to me because elderberry would never reach the height of the lines so shouldn’t be a problem. More education is needed to provide better habitat for all wildlife. Great video!

This is something that could be planned as part of construction of new lines. Instead of levelling the landscape, leave piles of rocks, duvets for ponds, etc. Replant with appropriate small trees and native plants, etc.
