Too much climate funding stops in offices. Wildfires, floods and failing harvests continue to increase. Meanwhile, thousands of communities already know how to restore ecosystems and build resilience. What they need isn't more paperwork. They need resources to act. Do you agree?

For many people restoring ecosystems, funding doesn’t feel like something that exists. Long grant applications. Weeks of proposals. No guarantee of success. Meanwhile, communities restoring land are trying to keep going with what they have. #EcosystemRestoration

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Billions are pledged to climate action every year. But many of the people actually restoring ecosystems are still operating with limited support. If the funding exists… why isn’t more of it reaching the ground? #GenerationRestoration #EcosystemRestoration #ecosystemrestorationcommunities

Bonus: grazing herbivores reduce wildfire fuel loads while creating natural firebreaks (see GrazeLIFE study, Portugal). 2 animals, 1 regenerating system. This is the work across the ERC movement. Real land, real data, real impact.

The cascade: Selective grazing → wildflower diversity ↑. Dung introduction → beetle colonization → bat/bird activity ↑. Trampling → microhabitat creation. Fur/dung → seed dispersal. They've even self-optimized fencing routes. This is applied restoration ecology. 🔄

Living in a fire-prone area? Managing land that's now wildfire-threatened? Here's what most people don't know: you CAN fireproof landscapes. But it requires re-engineering ecosystems, not just defensible space. We've gathered the experts who know how. 🧵

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

6,557 acres under restoration so far. Universities are monitoring long-term success. Community ownership is growing. The model works when you match the solution to the specific damage, not just plant fast and hope. What other damaged landscapes need this approach?

000

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

But it's more than trees. It's jobs. It's permaculture training for local farmers. It's showing that restoration can be both ecological AND economic success. The coal industry took farmland and skills. This is bringing both back.

001

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

The No. 4 Farm nursery sits on reclaimed mine land from the Wolf Creek #4 coal mine. They're growing 1M+ native trees using these Champion genetics. Each seed gets species-specific treatment: stratification, scarification, whatever it needs to thrive.

010

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Renew Appalachia is putting this into practice. Community members identify and collect seeds from Champion trees across Eastern Kentucky. White oaks (pressured by bourbon barrel production), crab apples (critical bat habitat)—species that matter locally.

011

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Here's why it matters: A tree seed from 100 miles away might struggle in compacted mine soil. But a seed from a local Champion white oak that's survived 80 years in similar conditions? That genetic adaptation is the difference between 30% and 70%+ survival rates.

010

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Enter 'Champion trees.' These are the survivors—older native trees that have adapted to harsh local conditions over decades. Their genetics hold the key: resilience to poor soil, local climate extremes, and the specific challenges of this landscape.

000

Ecosystem Restoration Communities @erc-earth.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

A century of coal mining left Appalachia's forests devastated. Compacted soil. Invasive ground cover. And here's the problem most people miss: standard reforestation methods are failing. Fast-growing trees can't survive these conditions. So what works? 🧵

When ecosystems retain water efficiently, they create microclimates that moderate temperature extremes by 2-5°C through the process of evapotranspiration. Water isn't just life, it's climate stability. #WorldWaterWeek #WaterForClimateAction
