Freddy's Homestead is a 50 acre property, which was overstocked in the past. Since our arrival in 2012 we replanted 8 acres with native and non-native plants. I have documented every new animal and plant species I noticed and could get a photo of on QuestaGame.
I also used the established gardens to propagate seeds and cuttings for the nursery I established here in 2017. Our newly discovered species numbers are increasing steadily.
