Our Arb and Strathbogie family, so many have been hit hard. With property, animals and forest destroyed or damaged, we are grieving with you.
This week, we are making sure our Arb grounds and seedbank are as safe as they can be for you to return. We will be offering a space from next week, Mondays and Thursdays, for you to join us in the nursery, cleaning seed or just for morning tea, (11am). You will be welcomed, it is growing and green. A respite from the char.
Granite to Goulburn, (G2G) an alliance between Strathbogie Ranges Conservation, Hughes Creek Catchment Collaborative, Longwood Plains Conservation Management Network and Euroa Arboretum have a landscape plan, completed 18 months ago. We will be working alongside of agencies to implement this plan in the coming weeks, to protect all we love in the Ruffy Tablelands as it recovers. We will be guided first and foremost by the community of Ruffy, but we will create opportunities for you to journey with us, watching as country recovers. She will need our help – we know we can trust you to be there.
If you are struggling within yourself, I have found writing my journal helps to clarify my mind and stop the words from swirling. On Being’ Hope Portal podcast series with Krista Tippet is calming and nurturing for your soul. I am particularly drawn to the conversation with Joanna Macy: Beauty and Wisdom and Courage. Of course, there are many supports on offer – but these two simple options allow me to breathe, just for now, and find the next step forward. Sending so much love to you all.
