How do we live together in #nature? #WoodMeadows, a managed & productive #ecosystem, can achieve this balance, a model of human activity benefitting #biodiversity.

And I want to create a #WoodMeadow in #Wales.

For research, I went to 14th European Conference on #Ecological Restoration in August in #Estonia, where wood meadows are amongst most biodiverse sites in the world

Thank you to all my supporters 💚 🙏

A #WoodMeadow is an ancient, multi-functional, productive ecosystem. A wood. And a meadow. Like a #ForestGarden.

The quote that sparked my fire:

“Neither in any other community of Western Europe, nor anywhere in the tropics, does the number of vascular plant species within a few square meters reach the numbers counted on the Estonian wooded meadows.”

I've registered for the SERE #Ecological conference in #Estonia!

We need a new #economics model and a reconnecting of our place within #nature

A #WoodMeadow is mixed-use, low-impact & incredibly biodiverse productive land, like a #ForestGarden at scale.

I want to create one in #WestWales, so I’m going to the conference to learn more.

Thank you to all my supporters, you are amazing 🙏
