Channel documents one person's multi-year project to convert 320 acres of West Texas desert into a forest. Content centers on practical, on-site experiments and progress reports about arid-land restoration—especially water-harvesting and flood-capture techniques (finding wet spots, catching large volumes of rain), soil- and plant-focused treatments (e.g., moisture-retaining "cactus glue," dealing with toxic native plants), and low-cost/repurposed construction approaches for controlling water and building habitat.
