Intrigued and moved by your desire to discern and give the land what it wants. The essence of good husbandry.
As a student of palynology (the study of pollen, (particularly its signature on the land, which, through soil cores, can tell the story of plant associations that have lived and thrived there before), may I suggest you consult the scientific literature for your area and see if anyone has done this work and can offer an idea of what species grew there in association with what forbs and graminoids and when (climate change always a consideration). Is there a University nearby? It might be a fruitful place to start reimagining the land as it once was.
Chills. The land remembers. So beautiful to hear this piece of remembrance you received about the land you dwell on now. How it is communicating to you through these different channels, a name given feels like a deeply potent offering of trust. Of how it desires to be held and seen. Beautiful too how you so openly listen and tend to a healing land. Giving love where love is needed. This is healing that moves beyond even this plot of land.
