Elements Of Resilience
We’re restoring a degraded hillside in New Zealand by supporting native regeneration and rebuilding a functioning forest ecosystem from the ground up.
We share the real process of native forest restoration: what works, what doesn’t, and what we’re learning along the way.
You’ll see:
- How we work with natural regeneration
- Practical steps for restoring degraded land
- Regular updates, unexpected challenges & small wins that move the forest forward
Whether you're restoring your own land, exploring rewilding, or simply drawn to watching ecosystems recover, this is a grounded & honest look at how land heals over time.
🌱 Subscribe to watch the forest grow.

Something a little different hiding in today's video 🌿
We've opened a membership — the Thriving Sapling — for people who want to support the restoration directly and get the parts of this project that never make it to YouTube.

If that's not for you... no pressure at all. Keep watching, we're not going anywhere 🤗.

What better way to spend the winter, than around a fire 🔥?
Today we’ve got a unreleased, experimental video from the archives for you! https://youtu.be/vXAjVJM2UiQ
This won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you did enjoy this style, let us know! We’re happy to record more of these videos, as they’re less effort than the regular polished ones

We need your help! 3-4 minute survey here → tally.so/r/XxN2xL
I explain everything in this video: https://youtu.be/a9nyHmHfvvk
The restoration is moving. And we've been thinking about what it would look like for the people watching to become genuine partners in our project.
Before we build anything, we want to make sure it actually serves the people who've been here watching this native forest restoration project in NZ come to life.
Honest questions, anonymous by default, no pitch at the end.

I’m afraid we don’t have a video ready for watching this week…There’s just so many things happening at the same time!
We invite you to do 2 things this week.
First, you can always rewatch a previous video (there’s so much good stuff in every one of them). That way you might pick up on details you haven’t seen before, and, at the same time you help us get more views and boost the algorithm.
Secondly, you can answer a quick poll:
How often would you watch videos if we uploaded them:
