Permaculture zone 5
An unmanaged wilderness zone for foraging, inspiration, and meditation.
Zone 5 is a wild natural ecosystem where we can observe and learn from nature, our greatest teacher who we can learn not only to be better stewards of our earth but also a place where we can forage sustainably and immerse ourselves completely to enjoy, to mediate, and to get inspired.
My Permaculture Zone 5
In the past posts, I have shown you part of my permaculture zone 5 behind my garden near the lake with abundant wildlife. Today I am showing you another part where I usually take a walk to enjoy nature and forage seafood.
All trees in the photo are mangroves, which provide nutrients by dropping leaves and habitats from standing roots for a healthy ecosystem. They also protect seashores from being washed away by strong waves and storm surges.
In the past, the man had tried to use seawalls to replace mangroves for seashore protections but always ended up with expensive repair costs. Nature's designs do not cost any and are always better than man's solutions!
The birds in formation in the sky are white pelicans with a wingspan up to 12 feet. A few turkey vultures are also flying high in the upper right corner.
In this photo, you can see more open water which eventually connects to the Gulf of Mexico, then to the Atlantic Ocean.

Thank you for walking with me today. See you next time!
