Basically you skip the first two steps with free bird poop.
Can i apply this to other areas as well, like building a house or something else?

IIRC there are ways to greatly speed this up by selectively planting certain fast growing trees to attract certain birds that will poop all over your lawn thus planting certain seeds. Basically you skip the first two steps with free bird poop. I think it was an old rail siding in London somewhere… or something like that. They planted a single willow tree that attracted the birds and BOOM head shot habitat.

Of course, but the steps you skip might not be the ones you want to skip. I.e. free bird poop would only come into effect after the house was built progressing between the step of removing a human centred habitat and the gradual growth of a normal habitat.

That’s really interesting! Do you have any links or more info on this process?

I’ll try to find tho links when I have time. Remembering it more, it was I think “anarchist gardening” or something like that. It was a I think the side of a man made ravine that was in stage 1 or 2, so the sped things up a little to make it more habitable.

The forest garden description is very similar to what I have seen described as a “permaculture forest” elsewhere.

Indeed, I think it’s the same thing with the exception that one would be planting a permaculture forest in some sort disused urban area. I suppose “guerilla gardening” is more focused on smaller plants.
