Trees For Living


First, to acknowledge Trees For Life in Scotland who are doing awesome re-wilding work, and have been for several years. This photo, to me, fits the energy of this time, the winter season of tree planting.

Us And Trees hub site latest

I have been linking people to this hub site during the past week, but little to see here yet. The Links Page should be useful for now.

I will be dedicating much of the next 10 weeks to building up these pages to make the whole set very useful to you. Please subscribe above to keep up with developments, new links, and new information.

Green For Life - quick review

Green For Life was hosted at the wonderful highly motivating IT Sligo college, in Sligo town, Ireland, last Wednesday, 13th November, 2019.

I had a table to talk about Us And Trees for a couple of hours during the morning,


... then gave Us And Trees, What Can We Do? It's first presentation.


The audience included some wonderful local people from vocations of organic gardening, food forestry, and native woodlands. We also had several teenage students who had bussed in from Donegal County and they were a joy to exchange with. They seem to be Greta Thunberg followers, so that helped the topic be easy.

I feel it is lovely that Greta seems to be a teen hero like the pop stars, rock stars, game creators, and techno djs of our past. I also notice the flack that Greta gets from adults is similar to the outrage that past 'grown-ups' had against the pop stars, rock stars etc.


Above is Joanna and her lovely team of students that put this event together ...

Tap 'subscribe' above to get a daily email of the latest 'Tree Of The Day' film Trees in 4 Minutes -  "Years ago I went on a solo backpacking trip through Big Sur. It was during a time in the year when there were few other people to see or hear. When I got to camp, I was surrounded by the forest. It was just me and this vast surrounding living organism. All I heard was the wind blowing through the trees, the birds chirping in the distance, and the constant sound of the flowing river. I didn’t feel like I belonged. I felt like an outsider. I felt in a way like the forest was alive talking to itself, and I was there in its way. Since that trip I’ve always wondered if there was more to the forest, to the trees than I knew".
