Save The Earth?


Was not sure how to title this introduction to 'Us And Trees', but it seems to sum up quite an anxious global thought, discussion, and protests these days ... for good reason.

Some of us wish we had a magic trick to sort out and magically heal the planet. The call of the 'Universe' to create a downpour.


So what can we do?

Host drum circles to call upon the goddess women of the earth to heal it?

Five Actions


I have had a passion for native woodlands since I was a child but 60 years later I went to a Woodland Festival in Co. Leitrim, August 2019, and the combination of lectures, craft market presentations, and Native foresters I met walking around landed me with a new wonderful revelation.

Here is what I learned ...

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".
