Biodiversity
in the soil & our Natural Connection

This is at the start of Bio-Diversity week in Ireland again this year. Like last year potential events are Covid restricted, so events are online and some of those also supply project resources for individuals and people who can group together under the current restrictions.

During this Nature Folklore Session, live guests and I intend to invite and share ideas, experiences and wisdom for exploring and improving bio-diversity in landscapes you live within. This is intended to be encouragement for those of us who are keepers and stewards of landscapes, no matter how small, even just a small local community hedge.

I trust the content shared today will include suggestions of what to look for and how we may easily attract more interaction of essential natural life.

I will extend this session into including how we may be tuned into our local biodiversity through more tolerance, perhaps less order, and discovering additional joy from small things we may not have noticed before. There are incredible flurries of life to pause for and observe, that warm us into a big heart.

Of course, some natural folklore will be included in the mix.

This week we have lovely fascinating guests already booked, but please still share your stories and poems connected to biodiversity and the small wonders of life and living. Do contact me so we can share them on Sunday too?

And there will be a questions and response session too.

Next Nature Folklore Sessions Live - Sunday 12th September, at 2pm Irish Time Watch here Live! ... or watch the archive later (click pic to set reminder) Tree Sanctuaries Autumn Gathering support for Your Tree Sanctuary desires A time and opportunity to recap on where we are with our Tree Sanctuaries and Tree Sanctuary ideas. This is a time when trees are truly turning colour around us in many places where we live. It is also a time we start to think about and plan our next tree planting season between November and March. This year I will talk about changes that I feel we need to make regarding our attitude and expectations of Tree Planting.  This includes encouraging nature's own regeneration planting and not being in such a rush or over ambitious with our own planting.                                                                                                                                     This also serves as a follow up to our March 'Us An

This is part two of a two part Nature Folklore session exploring the folklore and mythologies of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh. It is a challenge to separate the two as similar tales are told of both legends. But it does seem that the Crom Dubh mythology arrived later than the reverence for Crom Cruach as a god. The tales of Crom Cruach and Crom Dubh are very intertwined these days. Though nobody really knows the origins and details of either I am going to approach this as Crom Cruach being symbolic as a bringer of harvests, and Crom Dubh as a metaphor mythology of what happens
