Forest Holidays’ Post

Hello friends! We’re slowly settling into life here in the United States, and today, we’d love to take you along on a unique farm visit. This story began weaving itself back in Egypt, and now, with plenty of photos and details, we’re excited to share our experience at Hawthorne Valley with you. We also have some updates on how Cycle to Farms is going, along with news about our new bicycles! 😊 👩🏾🌾The link to the blog post is in the comments

Kia ora #placemaking friends! Here's a wee sneak preview of what people are saying in the survey Catalyse is running for Placemaking Aotearoa. We'd love to hear more thoughts too - if placemaking has a place in your life (big, small, something inbetween/else), please share with us! Some interesting responses coming in! Partnering with community groups is (so far) the approach used most frequently by placemakers seeking support for placemaking... and, by far, the most desired support is for specific resources related to indigenous knowledges, climate adaptation etc. People are also telling us how much they value the mahi Placemaking Aotearoa volunteers have done so far (yay for The Kūmara Awards!) and the resources already on the Placemaking Aotearoa website. Thank you! You can sign up to see a copy of the full results by doing the survey (link below). We'd love to hear your thoughts too. "Big ups to the network and the volunteers. Y’all are magnificent. And truly inspirational. And so well organised and communicated, I have no hesitation pointing laypeople (like basic traffic engineers and developers) at your materials."

LANGUEDOC CASTLES Château de Peyrepertuse Château de Peyrepertuse is a ruined fortress and one of the so-called Cathar castles located high in the French Pyrénées in the commune of Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse, in the Aude département, and has been associated with the Counts of Narbonne and Barcelona. It was the former seigneury of the Peyrepertusès (in Occitan Pèirapertusés) which means "pierced stone". It is located on a limestone ridge at about an altitude of 800 m, on top of a hill which separates Duilhac from the town of Rouffiac-des-Corbières, towering over scrubland and vineyards. A strategic position which enables one at the same time to see far into the valleys that circle it, to control the mountain passes, or to send communication signals to the château de Quéribus a little further south. The view of the castle from Duilhac (to the south) is impressive thanks to the 30 to 40 meter cliff on which the Castle is perched. The main entrance is located on the north side, but in the time of the Cathars, a secret passage through a narrow path behind a rocky overhang allowed entrance by means of a detachable ladder. Today, the secret passage's postern is closed off, but the path is still there. More at Wikipedia

Share your traditions and thoughts on sustainability in the comments! 👇 In Irish mythology, the beginning of the summer season started with the Fire Festival at Beltane. Great bonfires would mark a time of purification and transition, heralding in the season in the hope of a good harvest later in the year, and were accompanied by rituals to protect the people from any harm by otherworldly spirits. At the Beltany (Beltony) Stone Circle in the North West of Ireland, the sunrise at Beltane is aligned with the only decorated stone in the circle. The Beltany Stone Circle gets its name from Beltane which is associated with the lighting of hilltop fires in a rekindling of the sun. #Beltaine #MayDay #CelticTraditions #NewBeginnings #TechForGood #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #CircularEconomy #CarbonNeutral #DataProtection #EnterpriseESG #GreenFuture #Blancco #GrowthAndRenewal
