Alternative Ways To Use Cleared Land
Land is one of the most useful commodities that we can own. Although not intrinsically, this value is more in the potential that land provides to the owner and to the local community. While many people are struggling to fit into cities, there are still countless places throughout the US where you can get a piece of land for relatively cheap. As land clearing contractors, we have seen land used in many ways.
Depending on who owns the land and their intention, it can provide so much more than simply residential, commercial, or industrial space. In fact, there is quite a revival of community-oriented action, sparked by the pandemic which forced us to rely upon those in our immediate vicinity. Here’s a look at some alternative ways to use cleared land and how they can benefit more than just you and your family.
Land Clearing Contractors in Hill County
If you’ve recently hired us for land clearing in Hill County TX, or simply have some land which you’re not sure what to do with, why not consider a community garden?
While it may seem like a lot of work for other people, it can be a cooperative effort alongside those who will reap the rewards in the long run. Be sure to work alongside any local council or agencies which may be able to offer guidance on both the legal side as well as offering financial support.
Land Clearing for a Food Forest
Similar to a community garden in its result, a food forest is a permaculture technique which aims to create an environment suitable to support a variety of different plants to grow. Particularly fruit, but also vegetables, herbs, and spices all benefit from their own ecology which can be developed using tried and true techniques. Check out Youtube for plenty of inspiration on how you can grow your own food forest.
Land Clearing for Community Market or Event Space
Coming together each week not only keeps people connected, it also reminds us that we’re all in this together and that everybody has their own struggles and successes. To celebrate the unique and creative people in your community, you may wish to turn your space into an area for a weekly or monthly market.
Community Farmers Markets
Farmers markets, like community gardens, have made a comeback in recent years, lending credence to the importance of food in our social life. Hosting a farmer’s market on your land can be an income opportunity if you want it to, but the real opportunity lies in helping your neighbors to produce and/or express themselves.
Community Event Space
The only thing that brings as many people together as a market is live music, we simply seem to gravitate towards musical events innately knowing the joy they’ll bring us. By working alongside local musicians, your council, and your neighbors, you can create a gig space which the whole community can benefit from. Be sure with both of the above to talk to all relevant local government agencies about the rules around doing such things.
Community Playground or Exercise Space
The great outdoors may be one of the best places we can glean exercise from, although it does pose some dangers to children. Instead, you may want to create a space which can host your neighborhood kids, or even a space which can accommodate people of all ages who wish to exercise.
Community Craft/Work Space
Finally, if you’re a builder, carpenter, or even a whittler, you’ll know how valuable it is to have proper space to do such things. This can include both indoor and outdoor spaces with workbenches and the like to allow all manner of mechanical creation to spring forth. Again, it will be important to get guidance from local councils about how to go about this safely, but it could be revolutionary for some people in your area.
