Make shelters. Teach your kids how to make shelters. Learn how to use fire responsibly. Teach your kids and other peoples' kids the same. Pick up litter and improve the place. Create natural sculptures and artwork. Build community around areas of woodland. Learn what a healthy ecosystem looks and feels like. Explore possibilities for returning Sitka spruce monoculture back to mixed deciduous. Plant trees. Learn about local fauna and flora. Build relationships with local fauna and flora. Build relationships with other woodland users. Observe the action of water in the landscape. Engage assertively with Coillte and local authorities over your right to access and use the woods. We are the land. The land is us. Spread the word.<br />
In order for the land to be subjected to laws of the market the relationship of the people with the land had to be broken. It is high time we regrew this bond. Our future depends on it.Great post, thanks.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/103414#comment2950502013-03-21T11:39:56+00:00Rational Ecologist.When humankind is alienated from the landbase, tyranny is the norm and ecocide t...When humankind is alienated from the landbase, tyranny is the norm and ecocide the final destination.<br />
Coillte's monocrop, commercial plantations are part of the problem. People need to assert their right of way. Check out the Enclosures Act.Alsohttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/103414#comment2950512013-03-21T12:20:25+00:00Pooka McFeeSeek out the most ecologically healthy areas in your locality.

Steep sided valleys are often lovely places. If you haven't been utterly desensitised by modern civilization you will recognise them by the way they make you feel. Calm, energised, optimistic. Use these places as a baseline guide to tell you what your bioregion would look like if it hadn't been ravaged by human civilization. Consider how to extend this health out into the landscape.Traitors!http://www.indymedia.ie/article/103414#comment2950532013-03-21T15:13:00+00:00fredThis is the same Bertie Ahern that also HALVED the tax rate on profits from the ...This is the same Bertie Ahern that also HALVED the tax rate on profits from the extraction of our oil and gas by companies such as shell. from 50% to 25%.<br />

As if the state disgraced corrupt politician, Ray Burke, left them in was not eviscerated enough!<br />
<br />
It's a wonder he wasn't in on this too.<br />
<br />
I guess the bloated 100,000+ per annum pension the state pays out (why???) was enough for him, unlike Bertie who wants more.<br />
<br />
Traitors both! <br />
<br />
And it just shows you that FG will happily co-operate with the likes of Ex FF Ahern when it involves privatisation of our national assets for private gain, which is their mantra.<br />
<br />
[ Oh to be a fly on the wall (with a tape recorder) when such deals are going down. And to record the bit where they talk about what their cut is and how it will be delivered.<br />
<br />
Because I can't honestly believe anyone could be so deliberately short sighted and terminally stupid without a generous payoff ]<br />

This resulted in the savage destruction of hundreds of acres of forestry,bogland,beaches and finally the plundering of our gas/oil.<br />
Some of these were in protected areas,SACS.<br />
When will we ever learn?
