I’ve had some savagely sublime nature experiences over the years.
Dolphins setting off laser trails of phosphorescence while sailing on the good ship Gwalarn off the coast of Indonesia.
Rain turning to snow, up on the shoulder of Mullaghcleevaun.
A golden eagle swooping just over my head in Glenveagh National Park.
Going ‘into the wild’ is a cliched rite of passage at various times in our lives for good reasons.
So, when the opportunity came up for one of us here @savewicklowmtns HQ to be in the forest for two entire days at an Earthforce Education camp at Castleruddery Organic Farm near Donard, we jumped.
The result of this jump was muck everywhere and a smell of woodsmoke. Thrilled. By helping making fires. By making a hut. By hiding in a hole. By firing arrows. By making wooden objects. By being outside for so long on a winter’s day. By not being afraid of getting wet. By learning. By sharing. By realising you are not the only one.
Keep up the top notch and pioneering work @ciarahinksman and colleagues.
