New Post: Why people love wilderness?   -Once we experience the wilderness, many of us fall in love with it. Where does this love and admiration come from? At first glance, it seems that the love to wilderness has its roots since the time of the initial connection of man with nature. But is it really so? How did we come to love the wilderness? The land where our early ancestors lived was a true wilderness. Land without any trail, path, road. Without any settlements. Just a vast landscape covered with ancient forests, wetlands, large rivers and endless streams and bogs. The land where to find dry - https://lnkd.in/gNNHtdQ4

Shipwrecks, sea birds and whales: the exploration of Ireland’s first marine park. In an enchanting article, I read this evening of the Kerry Seas national park (Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí) encompasses 70,000 acres of precious marine and coastal habitats off Ireland’s gorgeous Kerry coast. It embraces numerous sites of rich cultural heritage and outstanding biodiversity. The latter includes internationally important seabird populations, plus everything from basking sharks and sunfish to dolphins and whales. Ireland’s south and west coasts have now gained a reputation as a top whale-watching location, with both minke and fin whales regularly seen in summer, and autumn being peak season for humpbacks. The beehive cells of the ruined monastery echo the rugged island outline of Little Skellig. These buildings – strange windowless stone cells – are known as the beehive hut, or clochán – 1,400 years ago, they offered sleeping quarters to monks. There are many wonders on this coast, and this article transports me with joy, and a desire to travel to Ireland, that I have never visited. Inspiration beyond words. Enjoy the article, and perhaps, you too, will one day find yourself on this mystical coast, between bee-hive huts and the spray thrown up by whales. #KerrySeasNationalPark #Kerry #MinkeWhales #Clochán https://lnkd.in/eZaw6W_5

The majority of the area appears natural and untrammeled, with a mix of opportunity for solitude and serenity, self-reliance, adventure, challenging experiences, and primitive recreation, supplying high potential to provide the wilderness attributes and values appropriate for wilderness designation. There are few places that offer as high quality scenery, natural integrity and wide-scale ecosystem function as Tracy Ridge. https://lnkd.in/ecDJe5m9

What wilderness, and the Wilderness Act, means for people is informed by historical and cultural perspectives. We have to embrace all these interpretations to build a better understanding of what our collective needs and interests are going forward

As the thermometer stubbornly lingered below freezing, it fuelled my desire to remind myself of warmer times. Our October trip to Pembrokeshire was unseasonably warm, which resulted in beach adventures and newly discovered locations. 🌅 Nestled at the mouth of the Teifi Estuary, Poppit Sands Beach is a perfect example of our explorations. At high tide, the sandy expanse is a picturesque haven, but low tide reveals a breathtaking stretch of sand that seems to reach almost Gwbert on the other side. However, watch the tide, especially when it's coming in – it moves fast! ⏰ Poppit Sands marks the beginning (or end) of the epic 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path, an incredible journey that takes you along the entire coastline to Amroth in the south. If you are an avid walker, then lace up your hiking boots and embark on a coastal adventure like no other! 🥾 With the sheltered cove providing respite from the prevailing southwesterly winds it creates an ideal environment for wildlife watching. Immerse yourself in nature and witness the beauty of the coastline and its inhabitants. 🌿 What UK beaches do you recommend for our 2024 adventures? 👋I'm Dave 🔥Igniting curiosity to help you build a better business   #thebusinessexplorer 👈 Follow this hashtag to see more of my content #weekendwalking  #success #business #strategy #curiosity
