Natural Island Dragonmill
Schweta, Saxon,
Germany
 The Dragonmill, a place like from ancient times … as the Dragonmill-Island is surroundet by folldplains, alders, ditches, smalls creeks …, fields and woods ... a tumulus and just across the ditch in direct neighbourship there is a protected area for spring- blossoms- flowers. Since 2007 the Nature Island of her Dragonmill is in the middle on " FFH " (Flora and Fauna Habitat) area of the European Union. For the preservation and further cross- linking of passages (Wolf) and habitation areas for Flora and Fauna in whole Europe!
A bit further in our bio region … the more than 700.000.000 years old Collm- vulcano, hill graves, stone circles, and a „Dragon“-limetree aged more than 1200 Years ... the Mill its self, like it stands now was rebuild approx.. 1849 from boulders and slate ... what was before it is a secret showing up slowly... the first proofs of humans here date back approx ... 150.000 to 200,000 years. This was an stone axe, found just behind her Mill and is now in Dresden in a Museum, besides this there were finds from the entire history of last thousands of years. Like 5000 Years ! To the property of the Monument- Protected Mill still belong a big nice old baking house, granary, barn, vault stables, beehive and a picturesque chicken house! All the buildings are settled around a paved and from herbs covered court! To the property belong up to now: 5 hectars divided in: Yard and buildings, grassland, fruit meadow, forest (with a tumulus) and the system of ditches and streams for her Dragonmill. Our 11 goats and 6 sheep help us with the extensive landscape conservation, above all they give us fresh milk, wool, and its daily animating Meck Meck Meck, some times also meat and skins. A small crowd of ducks and chickens take care of the snails and process our leftovers, on the compost pile , what brings us also fresh eggs to e.g. bake mmmmh...
Next coming 4 Waterbuffalos for thy forest work and a Milk-Cow Family !
And : What we Really want is : BioRegional Animism / Permaculture / Sustainability
>> Living in a world, were all humans take care of there environment, in order to make a live near to nature possible for future generations, with the aid and co- creation of all of the other than human persons that compose our bioregion. So that our relationships with the source of our being is reciprocal and sacred in nature. A solidary society, in which dreams, ideas and conceptions can be realized self- organized and base- democratically.
