Newts, Damselflies, and Adders: Stories from a Medicine Walk in the Woods

25/6/2017

 
Picture
I’ve just seen a newt. My first wild one. It’s tiny and delicate looking, much smaller than I would’ve thought, about 10cm long and pretty drab-coloured. It’s swimming about on top of the water in the pond at the bottom of Vert Woods.

I think it’s pretty special but Stewart is more excited about the blue and red damselflies that are mating on the wing in the sunlight at the edges of the water. “It’s busy isn’t it,” he says, implying that this doesn’t happen all the time. It must be unusual because as the site director, he is in these woods a lot.

“Anyway,” he says, in between taking pics of the flies, “there aren’t many newts here because the adders usually get them.”

“The adders?!?”

Pictures from a Foraging Away Day Walk and for Journeys by Design

23/6/2017

 
Journeys by Design asked us to run a foraging walk around Firle for their team after their annual company meeting.

Foragers and hedge witches Jane and Lucy took the team along the lanes and fields from the Ram and into Firle Place, showing them a variety of edible wild plants, alongside tastes of deliciously refreshing elderflower cordial, and relaxing lime blossom tea.

A fun foragers quiz to finish.

Rich and nourishing medicine walk yesterday connecting with the Land in a way that matters.

Ribwort Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is an amazing wound healer. I made a poultice and placed it like a plaster over a small wound.
