Although blocks of the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area had lain fallow after being cleared in the 1960s, he helped local groups obtain a 50 percent set-aside for affordable housing in a development that had been marked by upscale housing and retail.

Available by request from the National Park Service. The site consists of a partially open, partially wooded area of about , which is owned by the state. The open portion of the site is an agricultural field that had lain fallow for some time before the state leased it to a farmer. Plowing of the field turned up archaeologically interesting materials, and the state spent several days surveying the site to determine its bounds and gather surface samples.

According to a theory by Eduard Sangmeister, these settlements were abandoned, possibly as fertile land was exhausted, and then reoccupied perhaps when the land had lain fallow for long enough. In contrast, Peter Modderman and Jens Lüning believe the settlements were constantly inhabited, with individual families using specific plots (Hofplätze). They also imported spondylus shells from the Mediterranean. A second wave of the culture, which used painted pottery with Asiatic influences, superseded the first phase starting around 4500 BC. This was followed by a third wave which used stroke-ornamented ware.

Saffron Square in May 2014 In the mid 2000s, the development of tall buildings was being encouraged in the London Plan, which would lead to the erection of new skyscrapers over the next few years as London went through a high-rise boom. By 2008, the site, on main Croydon thoroughfare Wellesley Road, had lain fallow for over ten years. The project aimed to start in 2008 with completion in 2012, however, construction started in 2011. By June 2013, the tower's construction was well underway with its final completion expected in 2015.

Virtually the entire country was accessible by rail, making a national economy possible for the first time. And while federal financial assistance (in the form of land grants and guaranteed low-interest loans, a well-established government policy) was vital to the railroads' expansion across North America, this support accounted for less than eight percent (8%) of the total length of rails laid; private investment was responsible for the vast majority of railroad construction.Daniels, p. 55 As rail lines pushed further and further into the wilderness, they opened up huge areas that would have otherwise lain fallow.

In 1177–81 and 1189–90, Foulbridge was a member of Settrington, but it afterwards passed into the overlordship of the Percys, Earls of Northumberland, and of the Mowbrays. John, Lord Mowbray died seised of the moiety of the manor, which must have escheated to him, in 1322, and in 1327 the demesne lands were said to have lain fallow since the Conquest. Foulbridge was probably the "manor of Snainton" about which Ingram de Boynton and the Knights of the Temple made an agreement before 1226. John de Knapton also granted to that order rent and services in Snainton in the spring of 1240–1.

Nolde dreamt that his forest would resemble the coniferous forests of his native Westphalia. He bought about of future timberland in Cumru Township in 1904 and continued to acquire the land that would become Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center until his death in 1916. This land had been either farmland that had lain fallow for a number of years, or scrubby deciduous forest just beginning to recover from being stripped to make charcoal by colliers for the nearby iron furnaces. Nearly 500,000 coniferous trees were planted by 1910, but then Nolde realized that his dream of a small forest had surpassed all his expectations and saw the need to properly manage the forest.

National education policy in the 1960s determined that each educational region should have a technical high school and a commercial high school as specialist schools. Plans were thus put in place to build a commercial high school for East London, and the old race course site, that had lain fallow for many years after horse racing had discontinued, because it was financially not viable, was acquired. This school was completed and was occupied in late September 1973, with classes commencing at the start of the fourth term of that year, with Dr Boshoff as the Principal. Mr Bob Conibear was a Vice-Principal and Miss Ath Schroeder and Miss SC Groenewald teachers of Shorthand/Typing and Afrikaans.

Nearly 500,000 coniferous trees were planted by 1910, but then Nolde realized that his dream of a small forest had surpassed all his expectations and saw the need to properly manage the forest. Nolde hired William Kohout as head forester, and Kohout hired a contractor to build roads and trails to the forest to help prevent and fight forest fires. Kohout was a master forester from Austria, who had attended forestry schools in Bohemia and Saxony and received a degree from the University of Vienna.

As their numbers increased, the scope of Whiteboy activities began to widen, and proclamations were clandestinely posted under such names as "Captain Moonlight", stipulating demands such as that rent not be paid, that land with expired leases not be rented until it had lain fallow for three years, and that no one pay or collect tithes demanded by the Anglican Church. Threatening letters were also sent to debt collectors, landlords, and occupants of land gained from eviction, demanding that they give up their farms. As well as the digging up of ley lands and orchards, they also searched houses for guns, and demanded money in order to purchase guns and defray the expenses of Whiteboys standing trial. March 1762 saw a further escalation of Whiteboy activities, with marches in military array preceded by the music of bagpipes or the sounding of horns.
