A PART OF OUR STUDENT FEES GOES INTO SUPPORTING ME HAVING THE TIME TO GO AND PLANT TREES = BY BEING ONE OF OUR STUDENTS YOU ARE HELPING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!!!
Morning coffee finished and I am off into the bush with my wheelbarrow full of goodies
August should be the time of rain. But you can see next to the wheel barrow the dry red sand!!!
So the next wheel barrow is full of water! So instead of spending time only planting trees a lot of time is needed to go and water all the young babies in the ground – and that is nearly 350 – a lot of carrying water – and getting fit!
AND THEN …
While planting Catherine yelled my name and I went running – but it wasn’t an emergency ~ she was pointing at what looked like a strange bush
~ but it was a great gift…
It was an ECHIDNA!!!
It was a very special moment because it is very hard to find an echidna ~ they have to find you!
(If you want to know more about echidnas read the blog below this one.)
Too much attention so she/he decided to start burrowing but we knew this little echidna was looking for dinner so we left her (or him) to doing what echidnas have to do.
15 minutes later we went back and it had totally disappeared
I am happy planting trees cos I know that life is indeed precious. I want in any little way help this echidna and all the wild creatures have a good life – and for this they only need wild habitats ~ not our money or our comfortable world ~ they ask for so little.
Wild creatures can not live on land when it is like this – no food or shelter …
So why are humans destroying more and more wilderness – more houses, more mining, more, more and more ~ it is a sadder world as we are just taking too much – our desires for more things are our amongst our greatest challenges!
May we rise to the challenge so that one day you or your children or your grandchildren or even your great grandchildren ~ meet an echidna in the wild!
fABULOUS
