James River Association’s Post

How can we break the monotony of innumerous workshops within four walls - with the topics about open sky, trees, forests, wildlife, human being ... what a dichotomy! Just check your wall and count number of posts with workshops, award ceremonies, round table ... all without the concerned stakeholders, or only with a token participation of them.

I like the way it is targeting specific types of bee like the Large Carder bee to emphasise that different flora and conditions are needed to keep our wild bees healthy. #habitats #native #pollinators #bees

⏳ History, herstory ... The land that is now Wonderland was farmed, then developed as a camping and leisure location, then left to rewild (effectively) and is now being restored to appropriate - albeit convivial - ecosystem. 🧊 Before any of that, of course, the land was stewarded for thousands of years by Native Americans (specifically Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Kickapoo and Peoria); and before that, if you go back far enough, it was beneath millions of tons of ice. 📖 As current stewards of the land, we are also well-placed to tell its story. Over the next 6-9 months, we will be publishing our findings on Patreon. Some of that story is beyond reach today. Some of it can be accessed through historical archives, and some by scientific testing. Some of the story requires a little imagination, and some we are in the process of making now. ⁉️ Our Patreon is here: https://lnkd.in/gYq_Kc6G. Come and support us, and share in the historical investigation. And just to get a sense of how things have changed, here's Pete Berry's wife "proving a pretty girl can make more than one catch" (!!!)

😺🐶HAPPY HERITAGE DAY FROM A RESCUE ORG🐾 Definition of Heritage: the history, traditions, practices, etc. of a particular country, society, or company that exist from the past and continue to be important: - The heritage of a system that has not protected 1000's of animals in KZN has left so many animals in vulnerable situations. - That system has become a practice many have adopted when dealing with our animals. - A society can be judged by the treatment of its most vulnerable, and the traditions we teach our children determine the cycle. - We are ALL a reflection of the Heritage the next generation will be governed by. Today SAFE asks you to make a pledge - a pledge to be part of changing the Heritage for animals in KZN. Because EVERY life SHOULD matter And we can ALL make the world kinder ONE action at a time.
