Very nice. Are you going to get anything going after the pigs and chickens go over it? Food forest?
Leader follower systems are a key part of #permaculture. #FunctionStacking with animals means even though production of a single species decreases, the systems total overall production increases.
Here #chickens follow #pigs.

No this is in thinning phase. Removing invasives and thinning trees so grass can grow. The next step is harvesting firewood and harvesting the Osage Orange for firewood.
The forest is already basically a food forest, tons of walnut, hickory and persimmon.
I do have a contract to plant 250 trees here if I can find someone to dig the swales, but that will be for creating silvopasture, not a food forest.
