Seeing the Wood Through the Trees – a guided walk and talk with Pete Yeo at Brownsham, Hartland
Tue 14 Sep 2021 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM BST
Brownsham National Trust Car Park, EX39 6AN
Description
Join Nature-connections guide Pete Yeo as he takes us on a journey through Beckland Woods and onto the Southwest Coastal Path. During this two and a half hour walk and talk he will focus on plant sentience.
This guided walk will invite contemplation on the connected, collaborative and sentient nature of vegetation, whether tree, forest or Gaian tissue, whilst exploring the new and ancient insights that are set to transform our relationship with plants. We are learning to see beyond the reduction of nature red in tooth and claw, or thorn and toxin, toward holistic ecologies, embodying more rainbow-like reciprocity than we have imagined.
The event will run within current Covid-19 restrictions. A briefing will take place at the beginning of the event. Please arrive by 4.55pm. We will meet at Brownsham National Trust car park, Hartland, EX39 6AN. Please wear suitable footwear and warm clothing. We will walk in all weathers apart from high winds.
Pete is from North Devon and describes himself as a reconciliation ecologist and Nature mentor; he’s passionate about connecting people to their wider nature, focusing on more holistic and harmonious relationships with the plant realm in particular. He is being invited to lead an increasing number of walks in that spirit.
