Our Director Tim puts forward why he feels tree climbing has a part to play in helping the planet
Reconnect with nature though being outdoors, hugging trees and tree climbing.
“We need to nurture our planet!
With accelerating effects of climate change, rapid species extinctions, and ongoing global political upheaval with all its aftermath, I ask myself What on Earth can I do to make a positive difference? Remember the phrase Think Global Act Local? Empowering on a local scale does facilitate stronger and more resilient communities and yet this world is still in need of a whole lotta love.
So what can I do RIGHT NOW? Sure, one thing we can all do right now is Be Kind. From giving someone a smile or helping hand to finding a way to give sanctuary to people and nature, being kind is also really good for our mental health, especially if you remember to be kind to yourself too! As I write this a neighbour just hiked up to bring me a bag of his freshly dug tatties and I feel the same gentle warmth when a beaming Satish Kumar spoke across a conference room telling us to create hope by baking bread – I took up his challenge and for a time baked and gave away loaves to friends, family and complete strangers.”
