The latest Stepping Stone Forest soil preparation event was in Rosevale in Drogheda today. This is a Drogheda Tidy Towns event. Mainly dry weather and good craic. Great community effort that was ably supported by volunteers from the forest sponsor #AmazonInCommunities

Yesterday I paid a visit to two new Stepping Stone Forests in Dodder Valley Park in south Dublin. The forests are on either side of the M50 motorway that bisects the park.

Another Stepping Stone Forest first. The firs in Meath was planted this morning by volunteers from Bettystown Tidy Towns, #amazonincommunities and Laytown Bettystown Youthreach. It is gratifying that other groups around the country are embracing the Miyawaki method approach. #steppingstoneforests

A few shots from the tree planting events on Friday & Saturday in Ballycragh Park in Firhouse. Success plucked from the very real prospect of failure thanks to the tens of volunteers that came to the rescue on Saturday.

"All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go"
Today 26 volunteers assembled to plant the next Stepping Stone Forest in the Fettercairn Youth Horse Project. Unfortunately there were no trees to plant. Our supplier let us down so we've been forced to postpone until next Tues (Jan 28th) #steppingstoneforests

The entire surface of overflow pond in Sean Walsh Park is frozen solid. Except for a solitary skating moorhen there were no waterfowl to be seen on the lake.
