Permaculture designers and land stewards
Starting a new permaculture or regenerative land project and needing a structured field journal.
Use cases
About
Starting work at La Cuartilla, fall 2015 is a mind map template documenting land stewardship tasks across three main areas: earthworks, planting trees, and pruning trees. The template covers 51 nodes detailing specific interventions such as constructing swales (Buddha, Mini-Buddha, La Alameda), observing soil variability, and pruning Transparentes trees for firewood and light. It serves as a practical field journal for permaculture practitioners, offering a structured way to record observations, actions, and reflections on land management. Key nodes like 'drainage in front of yurt' and 'cutting out cane' illustrate hands-on problem-solving and seasonal maintenance. This Xmind template is ideal for anyone documenting regenerative land practices or planning similar earthworks and tree care projects.
Terms and ConditionsWhen to use this template
Gardeners and arborists
Conducting seasonal tree planting and pruning work while tracking soil observations.

Step 2
Edit Nodes and Record Observations
Double-click any node to update the land stewardship details or add specific notes about your soil and tree maintenance.
Step 3
Expand Documentation and Export Results

Frequently asked questions
The template includes 51 nodes across three main branches: earthworks (swales, drainage), planting trees (soil types, reflections), and pruning trees (Transparentes, cane, grass). It also contains observational notes and personal insights.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then replace the example nodes under each branch with your own land observations. Add new sub-nodes for specific swales, tree species, or pruning tasks as you work.
Yes, the template is fully editable. You can add, delete, or rearrange nodes, change colors and icons, and export as image or PDF for field use.
The Buddha swale is designed to catch water from the road, but the template notes it is not catching much water and is quite deep and ditch-like, indicating a need for adjustment.
Absolutely. The structure is generic enough to adapt to any land stewardship project. Simply rename the root topic and update the node content to match your site.
