Hello

Just a little preparation email as we have the Walk & Talk Carrifran retry on August 1st.

As a reminder of what this is about. This is a visit to the original wildwood, the bare glen that had its first taste of ‘rewilding’ 25 years ago. Led by Donald McPhillimy (listen to our podcast interview here) - who was part of the first tree planting team in 2000.

The theme for this walk is Creating Something From Nothing. Something to reflect on while we explore this beautiful space. This is the perfect illustration of the actualisation of a collective vision that is good for the world.

This is a reminder that planning ahead is worth it.

Sharing your vision and bringing others on board is worth it.

Creating something out of nothing is worth it.

Being patient is worth it. 

And remembering that anything that is worth anything takes time.
